Hubble Repair Mission Approved by NASA


NASA announced today that the U.S. space agency has found a way to safely service the aging telescope, which is famous for capturing spectacular images of the universe"We are going to add a service mission to the Hubble Space Telescope to the shuttle's manifest to be flown before [the space shuttle] retires," NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said at an agency-wide meeting at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The mission, likely to come in the spring of 2008, will also allow astronauts to upgrade the "eye in the sky" with new camera equipment.

I think that it is good that NASA is repairing the hubble telescope because mabye if they didn't the hubble telescope parts could fall on the world or the whole thing could, and the other reason is that its made lots of good dicoveries so we should keep it for pride and honor.
