- Hubble loses main camera, unlikely to be repaired soon amid US govt shutdown
The Hubble Telescope lost its main instrument – Wide Field Camera 3 – due to an unspecified hardware problem. NASA engineers, however, are unlikely to address the satellite’s troubles immediately due to the government shutdown.
Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 stopped working on Tuesday, NASA tweeted. The telescope continues to work with other instruments while the “anomaly” is investigated.

Still interesting though since Hubble originally supposed to be a spy satellite, and it's shortly after China went to the backside of the Moon.  | |
