Hubble Telescope returns to life: Science operations resume as Nasa fixes worst glitch in a decade Hubble Telescope returns to life: Science operations resume as Nasa fixes worst glitch in a decade The Hubble Space Telescope had been shut for over a month after an onboard payload computer glitched, pushing all science operations into safe-mode configuration. advertisement UPDATED: July 19, 2021 11:51 IST Hubble Telescope has been in service for over three decades now after it was deployed in space.

16 July 2021, 11:07 pm The Hubble Space Telescope is back on once more after the National Aeronautics and Science Administration (NASA) switched to a backup computer.  This comes more than a month after the Hubble shut down on June 13 after its payload computer suffered a glitch. The computer, which is from the 1980s, handles the space telescope's science instruments.  "The Hubble team is now monitoring the hardware to ensure that everything is working properly," NASA said in a statement posted on its official website. "There's a big sense of relief," Hubble's Deputy Project Manager James J...

Copy Good news, Hubble fans – NASA reckons it may have worked out what has upset the orbiting observatory: an iffy Power Control Unit (PCU). The agency is only saying the PCU is a "possible" cause of the Hubble's technical breakdown at this stage, but the theory is strong enough that engineers have been given the green light to start a procedure to switch to backup power components within the spacecraft. As a reminder, Hubble is unable to carry out any science right now: its sensors are inactive and in a safe mode because the payload computer that controls the instruments mysteriously halts...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope glitch: troubleshooting identifies potential fix CNET 10 hrs ago Amanda Kooser © Provided by CNET The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope during deployment in 1990. NASA/Smithsonian Institution/Lockheed Corporation The Hubble team had been looking at the payload computer -- hardware dating back to the 1980s -- as the potential source of a memory problem. "A series of multi-day tests, which included attempts to restart and reconfigure the computer and the backup computer, were not successful, but the information gathered from those activities has le...
