On Monday the Hubble Space Telescope will be receiving its final maintenance as astronauts undertake a series of five spacewalks to replace broken components and add new instruments to keep the Hubble running for another 5 to 10 years.
The Hubble Space Telescope is about to get one last house call. And never before have the risks been higher. On Monday, astronauts will rocket away to the most famous telescope of modern times. They'll be taking up new scientific instruments, replacement parts for broken cameras and fresh batteries that should keep Hubble running for five to 10 years."
