The polaris dawn mission is planned to use starship, and will aim to do the first private EVA. And the hubble boost mission would also use starship. So it’s definitely a possibility!
- ghufran_syed 4y agoalthough now I think about it, if starship works, they could capture hubble, return it to earth, fix it and then relaunch it
- baq 4y agoNo point coming back home to fix it; better launch a brand new one as everything inside would be replaced anyway
- nordsieck 4y ago> The polaris dawn mission is planned to use starship, and will aim to do the first private EVA. And the hubble boost mission would also use starship. So it’s definitely a possibility! I think you're a bit confused. Polaris Dawn is the 1st of 3 missions, and it will be using a Crew Dragon capsule. The Hubble boost mission is the 2nd mission; I suppose it's possible that it could be using Starship, but there's no word so far that it's likely. Currently, the 2nd mission is planning on using Crew Dragon and docking to Hubble with a device located in the trunk. It's the 3rd mission that's planned to use Starship. https://polarisprogram.com/ https://polarisprogram.com/
