Hubble Space Telescope Sidelined By Serious Pointing Failure
Techlife News
|October 14, 2018
The Hubble Space Telescope has been sidelined by a serious pointing problem.
-
NASA announced that one of Hubble’s gyroscopes failed last Friday. While that was expected — that particular gyro was expected to go sometime this year — the surprise came when a backup did not kick in properly Saturday.
As a result, Hubble remains in so-called safe mode and all science observations are on hold.
The 28-year-old telescope has had trouble with its gyroscopes before. Spacewalking shuttle astronauts replaced all six in 2009 during the final servicing mission. Three of them are now considered unusable.
