Hubble Space Telescope's First Observations Since Being Fixed

Hubble Space Telescope's First Observations Since Being Fixed

Nzinga Tull, Hubble systems anomaly response manager at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, USA, works in the control room July 15, 2021, to restore Hubble to full science operations. The team proceeded carefully and systematically from there. Over the following two weeks, more than 50 people worked to review, update, and vet the procedures to switch to backup hardware, testing them on a high-fidelity simulator and holding a formal review of the proposed plan.

    Hubble Space Telescope's First Observations Since Being Fixed

    Members of the Hubble operations team work in the control room July 15, 2021, to restore Hubble to science operations. NASA Begins Switch to Backup Spacecraft Hardware. Today, NASA began a switch to backup spacecraft hardware on Hubble in response to an ongoing problem with its payload computer. This will be a multi-day event. If successful, the next step will be for science instruments to be brought back into operation. Editorial Use Only. Handout Photo by Goddard/Rebecca Roth/NASA/ABACAPRESS.COM

      NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

      Handout photo dated April 15, 2011 of NASA engineer Ernie Wright looks on as the first six flight ready James Webb Space Telescope's primary mirror segments are prepped to begin final cryogenic testing at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Last summer, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) set an October 31, 2021, launch date for the $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, but it's having to delay the science observatory's trip into space once again. Thankfully, the launch might take place just a few weeks later, in November or early December. A rescheduled date is unlikely to be confirmed until later this summer or perhaps in the fall. The instrument, successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, which is the largest science observatory ever placed into space, will launch on a European Ariane 5 rocket from a spaceport in French Guiana.

          ★Handout photo dated November 30, 2016 of what looks like a teleporter from science fiction being draped over NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, is actually a "clean tent." The clean tent protects Webb from dust and dirt when engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland transport the next generation space telescope out of the relatively dust-free cleanroom and into the shirtsleeve environment of the vibration and acoustics testing areas. In two years, a rocket will be the transporter that carries the Webb into space so it can orbit one million miles from Earth and peer back over 13.5 billion years to see the first stars and galaxies forming out of the darkness of the early universe.
