Science in a Minute: NASA’S Hubble in Safe Mode as Engineers Try to Repair It’s Main Computer

NASA says a malfunctioning main computer aboard its Hubble Space Telescope has halted continuing scientific observations. The space telescope’s main payload shut down on June 13th. The Hubble Telescope itself and related science instruments are reported to be healthy. The space agency says their engineers have been and are continuing to work to resolve the issues and that many available redundancies for the problem have not yet been tried, but one should likely work.
