NASA Considers Options for Hubble Space Telescope's Future

• NASA issued a Request for Information to explore commercial servicing options for the Hubble Space Telescope.
• The last servicing mission for Hubble was in May 2009, and it is expected to naturally re-enter the atmosphere in the early-to-mid-2030s.
• Hubble has been in orbit for 36 years and continues to perform important scientific research.
• NASA aims to maximize the telescope's scientific contributions by considering all reasonable opportunities to extend its operational life.
• The servicing mission would involve commercial space organizations capable of in-space servicing.
