NASA to Discuss Hubble Anomaly and Servicing Mission Launch Delay

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA will host a media teleconference at 6 p.m. EDT today to discuss a significant Hubble Space Telescope anomaly that occurred this weekend affecting the storage and transmittal of science data to Earth. Fixing the problem will delay next month's space shuttle Atlantis' Hubble servicing mission. The briefing participants are: - Ed Weiler, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington - John Shannon, Shuttle Program manager at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston - Preston Burch, Hubble manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. To participate in the teleconference, reporters in the U.S. should call 1-800-369-6087 and use the pass code Hubble.

Hubble Servicing Mission Delayed; Mission to ISS Set for Nov. 14

The space shuttle mission to repair and update the Hubble Space Telescope has been delayed. Mission managers were aiming for a February 2009 launch for STS-125 flight for the fifth and final shuttle mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The replacement component for the data handling system that recently caused problems for the telescope not be ready by February, and now NASA is looking for a May 2009 launch. On a positive note, the "other" shuttle mission waiting in the wings, STS-126 to the International Space Station, is looking good and is go for launch. Current launch date is set for November 14 at 7:55 p.m. EST.

NASA delays Hubble servicing mission

NASA managers have announced that they will not meet a February 2009 launch date for the fifth and final shuttle mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. On a separate note, NASA gives go-ahead for Space Shuttle launch November 14.

NASA Delays Hubble Servicing Mission

NASA managers have announced that they will not meet a February 2009 launch date for the fifth and final shuttle mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The decision comes after engineers completed assessments of the work needed to get a second data handling unit for the telescope ready to fly. The unit will replace one that failed on Hubble in late September, causing the agency to postpone the servicing mission, which had been targeted for Oct. 14.

NASA To Repair Hubble By Remote Control

Matt_dk writes "The U.S. space agency NASA says it plans to fix the Hubble Space Telescope by remote control this week. The Hubble stopped beaming information to Earth about two weeks ago, when a data unit on the telescope completely failed. Scientists Tuesday said they will bypass the failed unit and switch to a back-up system to restart the flow of information. The computer glitch forced NASA to postpone a shuttle mission this month to repair the Hubble. That shuttle mission has been postponed until next year."

Hubble Stops Sending Data, Mission On Hold

mknewman writes to tell us that NASA is no longer receiving data from the Hubble Space Telescope, which could possibly delay the shuttle launch planned just two weeks from now. There is a backup system installed which may be used instead of training the astronauts on the installation of the new component, but that would itself leave no fallback option. "NASA is reviewing whether the mission should be delayed a couple of months so that plans can be made to send up a replacement part for the failed component, said NASA spokesman Michael Curie. It would take time to test and qualify the old replacement part and train the astronauts to install it in the telescope, Curie said. NASA also would have to work out new mission details for the astronauts who have trained for two years to carry out five Hubble repair spacewalks.

NASA says glitch aboard Hubble telescope may delay shuttle service mission

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA says it is delaying its shuttle mission to the Hubble Space Telescope until next year because of an unexpected breakdown of the telescope.

NASA runs into more trouble with Hubble Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope is backdropped against black space as the Space Shuttle Columbia, with a crew of seven astronauts on board approached in this March 3, 2002 file photo. NASA engineers said they know how to fix the broken Hubble Space Telescope: They have to wake up a backup data-handling system that hasn't been turned on since the telescope launched in 1990. On Wednesday Oct. 15, 2008 NASA will start a complicated remote-control fix of a major glitch that stopped the telescope from capturing and beaming down pictures. Hubble should be able to send stunning astronomy photos back to Earth by Friday, officials said. (AP Photo/NASA, FILE)

Hubble hardware failure pushes back service mission

A hardware failure on the Hubble Space Telescope has compelled NASA to revise its plans for a service mission originally scheduled for this autumn. The mission will now include the replacement of the failed hardware, but revisions to the schedule and the new training involved mean that the liftoff of the shuttle bound for the Hubble will not take place this year.
