NASA's Hubble Telescope Repeatedly Enters Safe Mode Due to Gyroscope Malfunction

The Hubble Space Telescope has encountered persistent issues with its gyroscope, causing it to enter safe mode multiple times since last year.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope entered safe mode on April 23 after a gyroscope gave faulty readings, marking a recurring issue.
The telescope, which celebrated its 34th anniversary in orbit, uses three operational gyroscopes out of an original six to maintain orientation.
Engineers are considering reconfiguring the telescope to operate with only one gyro, while keeping the others in reserve.
Despite the setbacks, NASA remains optimistic about Hubble's capacity to continue delivering groundbreaking astronomical observations.
The telescope's instruments are stable and it is overall in good health, as NASA works on solutions to resume scientific operations.
