NASA hopes the commercial space industry can help save Hubble

NASA is seeking proposals from the private sector to boost the orbit of the Hubble Space Telescope to extend its operational life until the early to mid 2030s. The agency will accept proposals until November 30th. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman stated that the goal is to keep Hubble delivering important science for as long as possible, citing the potential for more discoveries, science, and understanding of the universe. The telescope is currently slowly descending towards its demise due to the effects of gravity, but is not in immediate danger of burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.
