The Hubble Space Telescope is backdropped against black space. NASA engineers said they know how to fix the broken Hubble Space Telescope: They have to wake up a backup data handling system that hasn’t been turned on since the telescope launched in 1990. On Wednesday Oct. 15th, 2008 NASA started a complicated remote control fix of a major glitch that stopped the telescope from capturing and beaming down pictures, but a new round of problems has set back NASA’s effort to get the Hubble Space Telescope running again, space agency officials said Friday. Officials at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, said it could take several days for engineers to find the source of the latest difficulties.
