Default Hubble Question...

That's the idea I've been pushing, not only could it be serviced but

also
controled from the ISS, have it maybe about a mile from it in same

orbit.


And what happens the first time you reboost ISS?

And not only that, except on a perfect sphere, with a separation of 1 mile
or so, that will gradually change over time.


Even over a "perfect sphere", the differential drag would move ISS and HST
apart rapidly.
