NASA just confirmed a contract extension of $2.03 billion dollars, to cover the work necessary to continue the science program of the Hubble mission by the Space Telescope Science Institute until June 30th 2021. Hubble is expected to continue to provide valuable data into the 2020’s, and in 2018, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will be launched into space as the premier observatory of the next decade.

The support includes the products and services required to execute science system engineering, science ground system development, science operations, science research, grants management and public outreach support for Hubble and data archive support for missions in the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes. Tomorrow morning, NASA will fire up their Space Launch System, the booster for the world’s most powerful rocket, which will power the agency’s astronauts on the journey to Mars, from the Orbital ATK Propulsion Systems’ test facilities in Promontory, Utah.

NASA Television will air live coverage of the booster test June 28 beginning at 9:30 a.m. via a NASA Social event, followed by a live conference that will provide the latest updates and background on SLS and Exploration Mission-1.
