Hubble has two gyros, the main and the backup, which is used to move the telescope around in space with precision.
Over the years,
Hubble experienced huge delays and cost overruns--some $2 billion in 1990 dollars had been spent by the time it finally left the launch pad, seven years overdue.
Hubble scientists developed a way to slowly scan the sky while collecting starlight so the telescope could explore the neighborhoods of stars that would otherwise be too bright for its sensitive detectors.
So
Hubble became one of history's greatest instruments by staging one of history's greatest comebacks.
However, it would be 1970 by the time NASA collaborated with European Space Agency (ESA) to get the first instruments and solar panels for
