NASA is again soliciting proposals to boost the Hubble Space Telescope into a higher orbit before it reenters the atmosphere around 2034. A similar $30 million commercial mission to reboost the Swift Observatory launched just nine months after contract signing, though it was ultimately unsuccessful. Separately, some iPhone Duo units are reportedly suffering tight hinges leading to cracked displays; Apple says only a small number of units are affected, but Internet sleuths believe the total may be in the thousands. iFixit's teardown suggests the folding mechanism may be jamming. The post also mentions Radiaverse, a site where users upload radiation readings from RadiaCode detectors to an interactive map, similar to WiGLE for WiFi. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why is NASA asking companies to propose a Hubble Space Telescope rescue mission? Hubble has no propulsion of its own and will reenter Earth's atmosphere and burn up around 2034 without help. NASA is soliciting commercial proposals to build and launch a vehicle that can grab Hubble and push it into a higher, more stable orbit, similar to a prior $30 million commercial mission that attempted to reboost the Swift Observatory nine months after contract signing. _daily.dev surfaces space and hardware engineering stories like commercial satellite servicing as they develop._ ### Why are iPhone Duo folding displays cracking? Some iPhone Duo units develop unusually tight hinges that produce a crunching sound before the display cracks. iFixit's teardown theorizes the mechanism cradling the display during folding may be getting jammed and failing to provide adequate mechanical support, though not enough data exists to confirm the exact cause. Apple describes the number of affected devices as small, though estimates suggest it could be in the thousands. _daily.dev tracks hardware teardown findings for developers curious about foldable device failures._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [NASA asks industry to rescue Hubble before it falls from orbit](https://daily.dev/posts/nasa-asks-industry-to-rescue-hubble-before-it-falls-from-orbit-bzz2gkpgm) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Hackaday Links: January 18, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/hackaday-links-january-18-2026-quthktgbx) · Hackaday · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Hackaday Links: October 11, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/hackaday-links-october-11-2026-czyfua0lf) · Hackaday · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Space Forge Evaluates In-Orbit Manufacturing Tech](https://daily.dev/posts/space-forge-evaluates-in-orbit-manufacturing-tech-gbzb4k6dy) · IEEE Spectrum · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Hackaday Links: May 10, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/hackaday-links-may-10-2026-dmyfmz1hx) · Hackaday · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#apple](https://daily.dev/tags/apple), [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware), [#nasa](https://daily.dev/tags/nasa) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/hackaday-links-november-1-2026-spfipkor4) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Hackaday Links: November 1, 2026","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/hackaday-links-november-1-2026-spfipkor4","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/hackaday-links-november-1-2026-spfipkor4"},"datePublished":"2026-11-02T04:09:41.409Z","dateModified":"2026-11-02T04:12:45.684Z","description":"This week's links roundup covers Hubble, folding iPhones, and a radiation-mapping site.
