Necroposting :3 BUT UR SO COOLcan I Worship You For The Rest Of My Life This Is So Cool - Blog Posts

got obsessed with the space telescopes for a lil while hehehe. revamped my designs for jwst and hst and tried my hand at designing some of the other "great observatories" as well! i like to think hubble, spitzer, and chandra are all siblings (and james is just kinda crashing the party here).

some extra thoughts under the readmore

so theres four great observatories, but the fourth, compton, was purposefully de-orbited and burnt up in the atmosphere. haven't designed her yet, but her death haunts the other space telescopes a lot hehe.

hubble was the first of the siblings to be launched, with compton launching shortly afterwards. they were pretty close before her eventual demise. unfortunately her death and chandra's launch sort of overlapped, so hubble and chandra's initial relationship was heavily strained by the grief hubble was feeling.

theyre doing alright nowadays, but its still kind of a sore subject. this is especially true because hubble fears he may share the same fate in a couple years. with the lack of funding and his failing systems, it's very likely he may be de-orbited as well.
