  1. Re:Hubble trouble? on NASA Debates How And When To Kill Hubble Telescope · · Score: 1
    Seriously, without knowing how much work is involved, would it be possible for NASA to retreive Hubble with a shuttle after a routine mission had been completed?
    No, it wouldn't be possible to do so. In order to rendezvous with the Hubble, the shuttle would have to be flying around the earth at the same angle as the satellite. Significantly changing it's plane of orbit while in flight is, I believe, beyond the capabilities of the space shuttle.
