The hubble space telescope has been taking amazing pictures of space and needs to be upgraded. The launch is set for August 28. They will put on a wide-angle camera lens, replace it's batterys, and replace it's gyroscopes.By doing this, the Hubble's life will be extended to the year 2013. The problem with the launch is that the people at N.A.S.A are trying to get a better external fuel tank. N.A.S.A is having trouble getting one and to top it all off, they need to have an emergency shuttle ready in case the first one can't get to the hubble. Because of this, the flight may be delayed for 4-5 weeks. Even though the launch is suposed to be in August, it may end up being in September or November.
