NASA's chief is optimistic that dexterous, remote-control robots can be deployed to repair and revamp the failing Hubble Space Telescope. Sean O'Keefe made the first formal request for proposals to do just that on Tuesday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Denver, Colorado.

"In the same can-do spirit that propelled the first Hubble servicing mission, I am very pleased to inform this community that NASA is releasing a call for proposals today for a robotic Hubble servicing capability," he told a group of about 1400 applauding astronomers. But the timescale is tight - proposals must be submitted by 16 July and will be reviewed by NASA by 6 September.

NASA is tapping the talents of MD Robotics of Canada to work on a potential spaceflight mission to robotically service the Hubble Space Telescope. The firm has a long history with space robotics, perhaps best know for supplying the Canadarm, or Space Shuttle Remote Manipulator
