There may be a lot of magic involved in that operation. In many ways,
the scenario is amazingly similar to the Skylab rescue plan, that
would have used a teleoperated servicer to change the orbit of Skylab.
We all know how that worked out.

The current thinking is that some sort of propulsion module will be
attached to HST to provide a controlled re-entry at the end of HST's life.
