dc.description.abstractThe Hubble Space Telescope has produced astonishing science over the past thirty years. Hubble's productivity can continue to soar for years to come provided some worn out components get upgraded. While powerful new ground-based and space telescopes are expected to come online over the next decade, none of them will have the UV capabilities that make Hubble a unique observatory. Without Hubble, progress in UV and blue optical astrophysics will be halted. Observations at these wavelengths are key for a range of unresolved astrophysics questions, ranging from the characterization of solar system planets to understanding interaction of galaxies with the intergalactic medium and the formation history of the universe. Hubble will remain our only source of high-angular resolution UV imaging and high-sensitivity UV spectroscopy for the next two decades, offering the ability for continued unique science and maximizing the science return from complementary observatories. Therefore, we recommend that NASA, ESA, and the private sector study the scientific merit, technical feasibility, and risk of a new servicing mission to Hubble to boost its orbit, fix aging components, and expand its instrumentation. Doing so would: 1) keep Hubble on its path to reach its unmet full potential, 2) extend the mission's lifetime past the next decade, which will maximize the synergy of Hubble with other upcoming facilities, and 3) enable and enhance the continuation of scientific discoveries in UV and optical astrophysics.es
dc.description.sponsorshipThis white paper seeks to encourage NASA, ESA, the science community, and the space technology private sector to assess the scientific merit, technical feasibility, and risks of another servicing mission to Hubble, to replace gyroscopes and enhance its instrumentation. Given Hubble’s unique capabilities, there is a desire by a significant fraction of the astrophysics community to look into another possible servicing mission to Hubble, manned or robotic. While there is not yet a specific organization or partnerships set for this proposal, NASA’s and industry’s growing capabilities in space servicing appear directly suited to this task. Though we cannot yet present a detailed cost estimate for such a mission, we can use NASA’s RESTORE-L mission as a baseline. The RESTORE-L demonstration mission is expected to cost around $800M. As this is a first-ofits-kind technology demonstration mission, some of that cost has been driven by developing and qualifying new capabilities. Such costs might be reduced on a future mission to Hubble reusing similar systems as RESTORE-L. Additional funds would be needed for development of new instrumentation, likely of order a few hundred million dollars. Thus it may be reasonable to estimate the cost of SM5 to Hubble at approximately $800M-$1B, in addition to extended mission telescope operating costs. For roughly the cost of 1-2 probe class missions, we can have another decade of flagship “Great Observatory scale” Hubble science - while also setting the stage for sustainable, serviced, long-lived Great Observatories across many future decades; With funding from the Spanish government through the "María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence" accreditation (MDM-2017-0737).es
