TODAY, NASA WILL ATTEMPT A RISKY MANEUVER TO SAVE HUBBLE

Since June 13, the telescope has been inactive. Engineers are optimistic that this maneuver will jolt him awake.

NASA has revealed that it will undertake a “dangerous” maneuver to repair the Hubble space telescope, which was unexpectedly unplugged on June 13 owing to an unknown issue.

The mistake, according to NASA, is caused by a malfunctioning power regulator in the computer’s Power Control Unit (PCU). They’ll attempt to switch to a backup UCP, which, if successful, will allow Hubble to resume normal scientific operations in “a few days.”

Because the backup computer, which NASA intends to cure the problem, had not been turned on since it was installed in 2009 during Hubble’s last maintenance mission, the “repair” is delicate. Switching to a backup unit safely is also a “highly risky task,” NASA previously stated.

“Someday, a component will fail at random and we will be without a backup. That is the most likely method for the Hubble mission to come to an end “NASA claims to know.

For almost over three decades, Hubble has been studying the universe. More than 1.5 million observations of the universe have been made since its inauguration in April 1990, with more than 18,000 scientific journals based on the data. Our understanding of the universe continues to be shaped by these discoveries.
