Hubbell Ping!...............
No mention of how much this contract is for, but will be worth it if under a billion.
Hard to make, hard to launch and much more expensive to build from scratch.
Then watch NASA administration cancel funding for the ground crew after it gets moved to a higher orbit.
Interesting. Its a useful asset , if it can function with moderate servicing even developing the know how would be a boon to SpaceX.
NASA is run by a Moron so you can rule them out
Awesome!
A great telescope named after a great astronomer...
They might want to refurbish it when they are at it. The reaction gyros should be swapped out, at a minimum.
The obligatory SpaceX badassery gifs.
All the pictures look the same to me...moldy cheese.
Commission SpaceX to construct a robotic refurbishment/repair mission which includes orbital positioning.
If the robotics aspect is still too challenging, use a Starship to retrieve Hubble for reworking on Earth and relaunching into an improved orbit.
The less involvement of NASA the better.
