NASA fixes Hubble gyroscope by turning it off and on again

Hubble’s designers prepared for gyroscope failure by equipping the observatory with a backup.

Unfortunately, when one of Hubble’s gyroscopes conked out in early October, the backup didn’t work as expected –

– it was rotating too fast and hence won’t be able to hold the telescope in place when it needs to stay still and lock in on a target.
