Possible solution for Hubble?

Could this possibly be used to bring the Hubble to the ISS for repairs?

It probably lacks sufficient Delta-V. A series of tugs launched one after
another might but that would be probably be rather complex*, with all the
problems that word involves.. The tug is also designed to take advantage of
docking systems on current and future satellites that simply aren't present
on Hubble.

*By comparison it would probably simplier to modify soyuz into an solar
ion-tug, build a temporary launch point on a more appropiet lattitude and
manually dock it to Hubble, turn it on, and then dock it at the station 18
months later.
