NASA and SpaceX are working on a possible way to restore Hubble’s orbit and it may involve SpaceX’s Dragon rockets.
NASA and SpaceX are working on a study that could lead to new missions to restore Hubble’s orbit. The space telescope has been running since 1990. Throughout its over 30 years of service, Hubble has received five servicing missions designed to help boost the telescope’s orbit and keep it working at optimum levels. The last service mission, though, was in 2009.
With over ten years of orbiting without servicing, Hubble has undoubtedly fallen from its peak in Earth’s orbit.
