Re: Hubble's 30 years old
Astonishing, isn't it. 30 years. And the technology is probably more like 35-40 years old, taking into account the design and manufacture cycle.
Just think what its replacement will be able to do, if it ever finally gets off the ground (currently planned for March 2021 but likely to be delayed further).... James Webb Space Telescope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Web ... _Telescope

Nasa, SpaceX study Hubble telescope re-boost mission
BBC News
Nasa and the SpaceX rocket company are to study the feasibility of running a private astronaut mission to extend the life of the Hubble telescope.
"The orbiting observatory, one of the greatest instruments in the history of science, is gradually losing altitude.
If nothing is done to re-boost it, the telescope will eventually fall into the atmosphere and burn up."
