... and it keeps on ticking.

I don't think there's any of the last Shuttle missions planned for servicing Hubble before the program ends this year.

the Hubble telescope was just serviced in November on STS-125. Hopefully, it will provide many years of science. It is truly an awesome instrument.

This is truly a great legacy for the Shuttle Program...the fact that Hubble could be maintained/upgraded by astronauts over the years is remarkable.
