<br/><br/> "NASA wanted to know if a robotic spacecraft could be built to carry out the servicing mission sans humans before 2008, the year in which the telescope's batteries and gyroscopes are expected to fail. [Dave] Akin, whose Ranger had been practicing some of those very tasks for years, answered NASA's call. So did robotics experts from labs elsewhere in the United States, in Canada, and around the world." (AIR & SPACE) This article explains how "as we extend our reach farther into the Solar System, robots undoubtedly will handle many repair and servicing tasks, help assemble spacecraft in orbit, and even build outposts on the moon and Mars."
