It looks like your gyroscope has failed. What would you like to do?

My local astronomy club has an image from early in the Hubble days. It’s an image from an “empty” point of space in a little slice sky in Ursa Major. It is awe inspiring how full that area actually is.

If only we we had a manned vehicle — oh, call it a “space shuttle” — so that we could fly a crew up there to fix it.

33 years is way past it’s initial expected service life. But it would be nice if they could get it humming again.

OMG, it keeps going into safe mode, because only one gyro is working out of 4.
there is a working group on how best to boost into a higher orbit, and possible fix it
