If this is the very last service mission, pushing Hubble to L2 does make sense. More reboost missions will cost more than its current value. But if you just happen to have a Webb refuel mission in the two decades, you can add-on a Hubble service mission with very low cost and extend its value one more time.


Space is big. Just because both are in L2 doesn't mean they will be close.


It’s also not that expensive to change planes that far out so being close isn’t a big requirement


When you have months to scoot between them, they might as well be a hundred feet apart.


It's a configurable setting
