NASA Launches $30M Robotic Mission to Boost Failing Telescope's Orbit

NASA is set to begin a $30 million salvage operation as early as this week to prevent a telescope from falling back to Earth. The mission involves launching a robotic spacecraft designed to rescue the aging observatory. The operation aims to extend the telescope's operational life by boosting it to a safer orbit. This marks a significant and costly effort by the space agency to preserve an existing scientific asset rather than replace it.
