NASA succeeded in fixing the Hubble Telescope's hardware defects
New York, July 17, 2021, Saturday
The US space agency NASA's Hubble Telescope has been out of order for some time but now scientists have succeeded in repairing it. A backup of a defect in Hubble's hardware has been turned on. Operations stalled after Hubble shut down a month ago. Now NASA engineers are working towards making the telescope fully operational. This work may still take some time. The telescope, which has been making countless explorations in space for the past 20 years, has stopped taking astronomical images due to a computer defect.
The Hubble Telescope was launched into space on April 4, 1906, using the Discovery spacecraft. The telescope was developed by NASA with the help of the European Space Agency. The world's space agencies, including NASA, had planned to launch a telescope into space since the 150's to speed up space exploration, but the success was too late in the form of the Hubble Telescope.
The entire Hubble system, which has been in use since 190, was replaced in 2006. According to a NASA spokesperson, only one of the computer's nine memory modules needed to be repaired due to a recent technical glitch. As the Hubble Telescope's lifespan is now slowly declining, it has had to be repaired several times and problems have arisen from time to time. NASA is also set to replace the Hubble with the વેબ 10 billion James Webb Telescope.
