Hubble Space Telescope Failure 2021. Katyanna Quach Thu 24 Jun 2021 0110 UTC. The payload computer halted on June 13 and the spacecraft stopped collecting science data.
The James Webb Space Telescope the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope is set to launch on Dec. The payload computer on board the Hubble Space Telescope that has shaped our understanding of the cosmos for more than 30 years has stopped working. A few phews of relief must have been uttered among the astronomers.
NASA plans to launch the James Webb Space Telescope into orbit Dec.
NASAs Hubble Space Telescope is fantastic. With NASA and the European Space Agencys Hubble pushing 32 years in orbit the bigger 100 times more powerful Webb is widely viewed as its successor even though the two are vastly different. The payload computer halted on June 13 and the spacecraft stopped collecting science data. So the failure of any of 344 such.
