Engineers have restored the science instruments aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, after a glitch took them offline.
"I'm proud of the Hubble team, from current members to Hubble alumni who stepped in to lend their support and expertise.
For about a month, Hubble's team of experts has been investigating the cause of a problem with the payload computer, which helps control the onboard science instruments.
This changeover was completed on Friday and the science instruments were returned to operational status over the weekend.
Launched aboard the space shuttle Discovery in 1990, Hubble has gathered over 1.5 million observations about the Universe.
A successor to Hubble, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), is scheduled to launch later this year.
