The last mission to Hubble was in 2009. We no longer have the capability to service the unit since the Space Shuttle is now a defunct program. In fact, at the moment we do not even have a ship capable of putting people in orbit. A newer telescope is in the works. It is the James Webb Telescope. It will have a 6 meter segmented mirror. It is currently scheduled for launch in 2018.

My humble prediction is that full frame may just be a passing fad in the history of digital photography. As sensors get better and smaller, there will simply be no real need for it. As someone who watched live and man first walked on the moon, the quality and capabilities of digital sensors has made enormous strides since. Back then, simply sweeping the sun with that camera would burn the sensor and render the camera useless.
No reason to think that the trend to improve sensors will not continue. I still think film is better, but this current generation of sensors is darned impressive.
