Hubble Needs Repairs

2/24/99

NASA head Dan Goldin told a House subcommittee
that a Space Shuttle
mission will probably be
necessary in Oct. to make emergency repairs.

That's 8 months ahead of schedule.

2 of it's 6 gyroscopes have failed and a 3rd is having trouble.
If a 4rth goes it would be impossible to move the telescope's view.
