Some of them might not actually need Hubble specifically. There are a fair amount of observation platforms, maybe they can get their work done on another satellite.
- antognini 8y agoPerhaps, but given the competition for Hubble time, if you can get the data you need from another observatory you're generally better off doing so. For these competitive observatories you usually need to explain why your project actually requires those facilities.
- InclinedPlane 8y agoTo some degree yes, but most of the approved observation plans have already been sifted through the "can they get this done without Hubble?" filter.
