NASA reopens the commercial Hubble servicing mission
Where it stands: NASA has reopened the possibility of a commercial mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope, marked by a federal contract opportunity. No bidder, mission scope, or funding figure is yet known. Watch for details on who might bid and what the mission would involve.
2026-10-30 — NASA reopens the prospect of a commercial servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope, signaled through a contract opportunity posted on SAM.gov, the federal procurement site (sam.gov/workspace), flagged in Irene Klotz's relay carried by NASASpaceflight (x.com/NASASpaceflight). This lands as a procurement step on a question NASA left open after the failed Katalyst LINK boost of Swift — the servicing record's Isaacman line, Hubble servicing "you'll have to stay tuned." No bidder, mission scope or funding figure is visible in the available material; no independent report on the listing's contents beyond the relay yet.
