the Hubble Space Telescope drifts through space in a picture taken from the Space Shuttle Discovery during Hubble?s second servicing mission in 1997. NASA annouced October 31, 2006 that hte space agency would send a space shuttle to the Hubble Telescope for a fifth repair mission no earlier than May of 2008. NASA has done it again. The space agency fixed the latest glitch plaguing the elderly Hubble Space Telescope . The observatory is now back in action teasing out the secrets of the universe.
Hubble has six gyroscopes, but only three are operational. The gyros help the telescope point in the correct direction to make observations and collect data. NASA has a backup plan that would allow Hubble to continue functioning with only one working gyro, but it didn’t need to implement that measure. “The spacecraft is in good health and once again operating using all three of its gyros,” NASA said.
Hubble launched in 1990. It’s experienced quite a few technical hiccups during its lifespan, including a serious mirror flaw that was addressed through a space shuttle mission in 1993. NASA ultimately conducted five servicing missions with the last taking place in 2009. NASA no longer operates space shuttles, so it can’t send astronauts to fix Hubble when something goes wrong.
