I believe the upgrade is going to increase its magnification by several orders of magnitude.

I’m really looking forward to when the new large array ground based optical telescope network comes online. The adaptive optics will take our atmosphere out of the equation and I’ve read that it will make Hubbel obsolete.

Also being ground based makes it cheaper to maintain and repair.
