Mission history
Following STS-125 and the subsequent retirement of the NASA Space Shuttle fleet, no additional flights to the Hubble Telescope were planned. NASA's original end of mission plan for the telescope was to retrieve it using Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-144, however this plan was cancelled following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.
