Washington (NASA). The Hubble Telescope, which has been collecting and discovering many important information while in space for the last 30 years, has suddenly stopped working.
The reason for this is being said to be a fault in a computer of the 1980s. It has been said from NASA that scientists are constantly working to overcome this flaw.
According to NASA, the payload computer in it suddenly stopped at around 4 pm on June 13.
On Wednesday, the team of scientists involved in removing its flaw had tried to shut down its backup module in an attempt.

If this is possible, then its other system will have to be kept running for at least one day to detect the flaw.
Only after this, the scientists will see all its science equipment by turning it on again and the
telescope will also be able to work.
According to the American space agency NASA, the system in which the fault has occurred is the only way to control the instruments in Hubble.
Significantly, the work of a payload computer is also to coordinate between the science instruments in the telescope and the spacecraft. With the shutdown of this system on Sunday, the main computer in it has also stopped giving signals.This signal is proof that all is well.
If it can be taken as a handshake between two human beings, then there is a proof that everything is fine. Soon after the problem with the computer, all its devices went into safe mode.
Scientists at NASA's Space Flight Center in Maryland had made an attempt to launch the Hubble Telescope computer on Monday, but after some time it had the same problem as before.Tried to do it but then the same thing happened again.

Let us tell you that the Hubble Telescope is called the eye of the world in space. This telescope of 33 thousand crores was established in the year 1990 in the low orbit of the earth. Due to a fault in the Hubble system, at present, this telescope has stopped taking pictures of the Earth.
This telescope was developed by NASA in collaboration with the European Space Agency. The entire system of this telescope was replaced in the year 2009.
According to NASA, only one of the 4 memory modules installed in its computer is needed.
In view of the problems coming in this, NASA is now considering launching the $10 billion James Webb Telescope.
