NASA pulls all stops to repair the hubble space telescope

The iconic hubble telescope is still non-functional at this time. However, NASA reminded fans that all science instruments and spacecraft themselves were in the perfect work order. The problem is’ computer era 80s responsible for spacecraft surgery experience serious problems that have prevented it from safe mode. NASA continued to diagnose problems with a cargo computer and announced that he completed a series of other tests on June 23 and 24.

The Hubble charge computer has not worked since June 13, and computers that do not function force spacecraft to stop science data collection. There are two cargo computers on spacecraft, with one serving as a backup. Both are located in science instruments and command handling units and data. NASA said the test carried out on June 23 and 24 included turning on the backup computer for the first time since Hubble was in space.

Unfortunately for NASA, during testing, engineers use a lot of combinations of hardware from the primary and backup computer, and all experience the same errors. Every command that tells Hubble to write or read from memory is not successful. NASA said it is very unlikely that all individual components of the cargo computer have problems, and the team is currently investigating other hardware as possible the cause of the problem.

Engineers are investigating data units / science, other modules on science instruments and command handling units and data. The NASA team also investigates the power regulator to see whether the voltage supplied to hardware is outside the parameters. The researchers believe that if the voltage is beyond the limit, it can cause the problems they observe. NASA said the team would continue to assess hardware to identify whether something else could cause problems for next week. The team can recommend switching to the reserve command unit / science data formatter to see if it relieves the problem.

Mysterious comet enters our solar system for the first time

Occasionally, astronomers found something in the cosmos that had never been seen before. That was the case recently when scientists found a new object that had just been confirmed as a comet. The new comet is called Bernardinelli-Bernstein, and the astronomers who investigate objects have determined that they have an […]
