Hubble Space Telescope's First Observations Since Being Fixed

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

    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.

Teams of engineers built and aligned the pathfinder telescope to rehearse assembly and testing before the actual telescope is built. After the team installs the test sensors and completes their final close out, the pathfinder telescope will be shipped to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas for cryo-optical testing.
