Resumen de Get Hubble out of trouble
Since its launch from the space shuttle in 1990, Hubble has revolutionized almost every field in astronomy. But non-astronomers also fell in love with the space telescope. Its spectacular cosmic images have captured the imagination, earning Hubble its nickname: the people's telescope. Servicing missions won't be possible anymore because NASA has retired its fleet of space shuttles. NASA's plan is to de-orbit Hubble a few years after the launch of its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, which is planned for late 2018. Operating like a space tug, the robotic craft would guide the huge telescope safely into the Pacific. Here, Schilling urges everyone to rescue the planet's favorite telescope.
