NASA Managers Delay Hubble Servicing Mission
WASHINGTON -- NASA managers have announced that they will not meet a
February 2009 launch date for the fifth and final shuttle mission to
the Hubble Space Telescope. The decision comes after engineers
completed assessments of the work needed to get a second data handling
unit for the telescope ready to fly. The unit will replace one that
failed on Hubble in late September, causing the agency to postpone the
servicing mission, which had been targeted for Oct. 14.
