Abstract
Hubble has produced astonishing science during its lifetime. Without Hubble, progress in UV and blue optical astrophysics will be halted for the next two decades. We recommend NASA, ESA, and the private sector study the scientific merit, technical feasibility, and risk of a new servicing mission to fix Hubble and expand its instrumentation.
