NASA will hold a rare press conference to address the Hubble Space Telescope entering safe mode due to a malfunctioning gyroscope.

While a private mission led by Jared Isaacman has been proposed to service Hubble, it carries significant risks. The press conference will provide updates on Hubble's operational status and future plans.
