'What we’ve proposed to NASA are options.'
The plan goes a little something like this: a non-crewed rocket would launch a water-propelled "space tug" thruster into low-Earth orbit, which would then drag the Hubble up by some 31 miles. Then, after undocking, it'd remove any space junk that could mess with the telescope's new orbit.
Astroscale comes in at the latter end of the proposal with its specialized space debris capture technique, which earlier this month had a nearly-successful orbital test that was unfortunately foiled at the last minute due to some weird anomalies, the Japanese company
