The Hubble Space Telescope, a joint project by ESA and NASA, was launched to provide high-resolution images free from atmospheric distortions. Despite initial issues with its primary mirror, which required the COSTAR corrective system, Hubble has delivered valuable astronomical data. Servicing missions were conducted to maintain and upgrade the telescope, but future missions are uncertain due to safety concerns. NASA is exploring robotic servicing to extend Hubble's operational life, with decommissioning plans involving a safe re-entry module.
