Re: Hubble Space Telescope Permanent Maintenance Station

So long as it keeps proving its worth without any updates or repairs, I think the Astronomy community and Nasa will continue to limp on with the way it is until its splash down in pieces.

Re: Hubble Space Telescope Permanent Maintenance Station

For Mars_B4_Moon ...

Thanks for the link you found about current Hubble research.

This topic was set up to attempt to find and promote a long term servicing solution.

At present, there is no (known by us for sure) capability to service the Hubble, and it ** will ** need service.

The proposal of this topic was (and is) to launch a maintenance vehicle to stand off from Hubble until needed.  it would contain crew quarters as well as specialized tools needed for maintenance.

Crews would visit as needed, but the service facility would remain in place.
