Thelonious Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Has anyone heard if NASA has a plan for servicing the James Webb Space Telescope? With an orbit so far out, it sounds very difficult and risky to use manned missions. Perhaps we will finally see robitic servicing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 AFAIK there are no plans for servicing the James Webb telescope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1ay Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Here's what Google turned up...Unlike the Hubble Space Telescope, the Webb Telescope will be too far away from earth for service visits by space shuttle astronauts who usually fly only around 250 miles above Earth.
