NASA Seeks Proposals For Hubble Robotic Servicing

Posted by simoniker on from the beavis-and-butthead-delighted dept.

hcg50a writes "SpaceFlight Now has an article about NASA asking for proposals to mount a robotic mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. Such a Hubble-servicing mission would occur toward the end of calendar year 2007. If you like politics mixed with your spaceflight, you can read NASA Administrator O'Keefe's speech in which the announcement was made."

    Would be funny if some of the Battlebot teams got together and made a proposal. The robotic module gets closer and closer....then suddenly, a huge blade whips out and slices the Hubble in half! PWN3D!!!

    has already volunteered. He says he wants to make Hubble the cleanest telescope in space.
