The loss of the space shuttle Columbia resulted in a decision by NASA not to pursue the SM-4 mission leading to an end of Hubble's life in 2007-2008. The Congress directed NASA to request a study of the robotic and shuttle servicing options for extending the life of Hubble. This report presents an assessment of those two options.
