Calvert: Deorbit Hubble: "a wise way to proceed"

Rep. Ken Calvert Calls for New Rules and Tools for the Second Space Age

"The Hubble Space Telescope program has been a fantastic program that has delivered images beyond our wildest dreams!  It is performing beyond its original design life.  NASA already has plans for a next generation telescope - the James Webb Telescope.  Although we will have a gap of coverage, Hubble has delivered volumes of data that will keep scientists busy for years to come.  NASA is planning the development of a de-orbit module, which I think is a wise way to proceed."
