Hubble had 5 servicing missions from the Shuttle before it’s retirement. The Shuttle was only capable of LEO missions.
There’s research into the possibility of using something like Crew Dragon for additional maintenance missions to extend it’s service life even further.

Can we use it to focus/reflect sunlight onto a specific spot, then have it turn on and off again a lot in a little planetary rave?
Slightly less research has been done to investigate that possibility, I’ll get back to you.
