The Hubble Space Telescope has been operating in Earth orbit since 1990, providing some of the best images and data about space ever captured. It’s now the target of an experiment to extend the life of artificial satellites.
NASA and SpaceX have signed the new Space Act Agreement to study the possibility of a servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope to extend its life.
NASA has agreed to a six-month study to see if SpaceX could use one of its Dragon capsules to boost the slowly falling Hubble Space Telescope into a higher orbit.
