Hubble Future?
Can robots save Hubble? Sean O'Keefe hopes so. It's an interesting idea, but the article deosn't indicate whether such a rescue would involve something relatively simple, like attaching a robotic guidance system and booster to the HST, or something fairly complicated, to wit, using robot manipulators to perform EVA feats. "Robot astronauts" are under development, including robonaut, but performing such a mission in time to save Hubble would require rushing the technology to maturity.
