Hubble Space Telescope Is Back Online After a Month-Long Shutdown

Hubble Space Telescope Is Back Online, After a Month-Long Shutdown.
Hubble operators at the Space Telescope Science
Institute announced they were back online in
the early morning hours of July 16.
Hubble is back!, Tom Brown, Head of Space Telescope Science Institute, via 'Science Mag'.
A computer glitch had rendered the well-known
space telescope unresponsive for more than a month.
Technicians were able to swap out the operating
payload to a piece of backup gear.
It took operators weeks to practice
the switchover from when the Hubble
initially went down in June.
Hubble could begin its unprecedented operations
again as soon as the weekend of July 17.
Scientists and astronomers around the
world collectively rejoiced at the news.
I am excited to watch Hubble get back to exploring
the universe, Tom Brown, Head of Space Telescope Science Institute, via 'Science Mag'.
[The Hubble telescope is] a truly global facility. Everyone is a friend of Hubble. It’s unique, Richard Ellis, Astronomer University College
London, via 'Science Mag'
