Planetary Society Weblog: One Hubble camera ready for business

Just a quick update on Hubble here: As you may recall, a glitch within a computer system on September 27 caused it to quit most science operations, and an earlier attempt to revive it didn't work as expected. But the news is getting better: a few hours ago, the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 was brought up out of safe mode. A NASA status report says the camera will "resume science operations shortly."

Edit: And, from another of our favorite bloggers, BA Blog: Hubble on the road to recovery

I’m glad I spotted this on Emily’s blog. Sadly, there’s no RSS feed on that page from NASA (sigh). But I’ll try to stay on top of this; I imagine NASA will send out a press notice when the new images are released.
We’re not all the way home yet — the Shuttle still needs to get up there and place out a lot of equipment, including installing a backup for the backup that’s now being used to control the cameras. Still…
Yay! Congrats to the engineers at Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA!

I guess they are among each other's favorite bloggers, too.
