So from the BA's blog:

Quote:
COS will replace the no-longer needed COSTAR, the optics originally installed to correct Hubble’s flawed mirror. Now all on board detectors have optics already installed to correct the flaw
Does this mean no more "batwing" photos

Quote:
They’ll also install ... a soft capture mechanism on Hubble’s aft end to facilitate docking
Wouldn't that only be needed if they're open to FURTHER missions???
