Three weeks after research activities were halted due to a malfunction in an internal computer, the Hubble Space Telescope is still flying blind about 540 kilometres above Earth. Nasa experts have been working on repairing the school bus-sized flying observatory, which has been plagued by problems a decade before.
Nasa has already finished a test of the processes that will be used to reset the payload computer, which crashed on June 13 and forced all of the science equipment into a safe mode configuration. By next week, the process may be tested on the telescope.
