The Register and other outlets report NASA's three options: boost Hubble to at least 600 km altitude, enhance its performance and resilience, or arrange a controlled reentry. NASA estimates 10 percent chance of uncontrolled reentry by September 2032, rising to 50 percent by December 2033. Any mission must complete by 2032.
