A White House decision to cut funding for a Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission and dump the observatory into a remote stretch of ocean waters at a future date is sure to incite debate in scientific, engineering and policy-making circles.


Sources said the White House plans to scuttle Hubble is part of NASA’s 2006 budget request, with some money in the budget allocated to using a propulsion module coupled to Hubble for its safe but destructive deorbiting.

The cutting of the Hubble servicing mission from NASA’s 2006 budget request was first reported by Space News on its Web site Friday and on Space.com.
