Hubble Day
Tuesday, October 31, 2006
Today is the day when we will find out if Hubble will undergo one last maintenance before being decommissioned. The telescope needs some new batteries and gyroscopes but a shuttle mission would have to be launched. After the 2003 shuttle disaster, NASA ruled against the repairs but now with new leadership, it looks to be on. Later this morning they will announce if the mission will happen. I really hope they send up astronauts to repair the telescope since it will give us another 7 years of images. At that point we will have a replacement in place.
