Hubble Telescope Is Falling – No One Knows Where It Will CrashThe Hubble Space

The Hubble Space Telescope is slowly losing altitude due to atmospheric drag, and without intervention, it is projected to crash back to Earth between 2029 and 2040, with 2033 being the most likely year. Because Hubble lacks propulsion systems and was never designed for a controlled reentry, scientists cannot predict exactly where its debris footprint will land, creating a small but statistically significant safety risk.
