- CommieBobDole 4y agoThe National Reconnaissance Office gave NASA a couple of unused KH-11s back in 2012, which is what Hubble is based on in the first place. They're using one of them for WFIRST, which is apparently expected to cost ~$4 billion, but that's the whole project cost including 5 years of operations.
- thinkcontext 4y agoThanks. I see its also going to be in L2, that must raise costs considerably.
