Hubble Space Telescope resumes science operations
Posted: Sat, Jul 24, 2021, 4:23 PM ET (2023 GMT)
The Hubble Space Telescope resumed science operations July 17 after a month-long outage. NASA said controllers successfully switched the telescope to a backup payload computer and resumed operations of its instruments. Hubble stopped observations June 13 when the payload computer malfunctioned, an issue engineers believe was caused by a faulty power control unit. The nearly five-week outage was the longest for Hubble in years.
