Why SpaceX won’t be taking a trip to the Hubble telescope anytime soon
NASA cited a number of risks as to why SpaceX wouldn’t be allowed to visit the 34-year-old telescope.
Hubble has seen better days—and with NASA formally rejecting SpaceX’s commercial repair offer, that’s unlikely to change.
Science missions have been paused since May 24, when one of the telescope’s three gyroscopes, used to orient the instrument toward targets in space, failed to return accurate telemetry readings.
