Default Moving Hubble close to the ISS.

hmm....how about making the thing a new(old) module of the Iss?
Then it would at least be servicable from the Iss...

Hubble is orbiting with a perigee of 584km and an apogee of 618km.

Would it still function if it was manouvred into an orbit matching that of
the ISS (perigee 361km apogee 437km) and parked 100 metres away from it?

It would make servicing it a lot cheaper because the two missions

(resupply
of ISS and servicing of Hubble) could be combined.
