NASA's Hubble Space Telescope goes into 'safe mode' after software error
Fox News
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST) went into "safe mode" on Sunday after what the agency said was a "software error."
"The Hubble Space Telescope is in good condition but remains in safe mode as a precaution while the team works to fully understand the error encountered on Sunday and the associated safe mode response," NASA told Fox News on Tuesday. "The team is working to return Hubble back to science operations as soon as possible." Safe mode is a setting that puts the telescope into a "stable configuration that suspends science observations" and positions the HST's solar panels toward the sun to make sure its energy requirements are met.More Related News
