The mission managers of the Hubble Space Telescope observatory are trying to adapt a different backup control mode that will keep this observatory operating efficiently through this decade and into the 2030s rather effortlessly. Even though the Hubble Space Telescope has aged significantly over the years and has undergone several issues, NASA experts are optimistic that the iconic observatory will stay up and running for a long time from now.

Is the Hubble Space Telescope's existence in danger?

There is no evident reason to panic as NASA experts have adapted to a backup control method as the gyroscope it has been relying upon has malfunctioned recently. It has been acting up for a long time and finally gave in, forcing scientists to try new methods. Even though the observatory will be running smoothly, there will still be some limits to its scientific capabilities as it will now operate with the help of just one gyroscope.
