Preserving our space heritage
... to curate? The answer to the latter question is perhaps an easier one to address. Scientific satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) have contributed enormously to our understanding of the universe and are surely worth preserving. The..., not simply image them. For this we would need a larger satellite that could not only take pictures of the target, but also rendezvous with it and provide it with ‘curatorial services’ that would help ...
