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.

towards an east that would not know another dawn.
But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

How about attaching it to the ISS?

I'm very worried about the Hubble's end. It's big enough to have some of
its bigger parts survive re-entry, and it definitely doesn't have enough
fuel to change course enough to guarentee a splashdown somewhere.

There is no fuel or propulsion system on the hubble, and there never was.

It's not the size of the bird that ensures that components will
survive, but details of construction. (And don't let Hubble's size
fool you, much of it empty space.)

and it definitely doesn't have enough
fuel to change course enough to guarentee a splashdown somewhere.

Hubble doesn't have any fuel at all. It could be controlled the same
way Skylab was, by varying it's drag by changing it's attitude, but
that's of doubtful effectiveness.

Do you have any idea of what it would take to make such a significant shift
in orbits?
