Hubble just celebrated its 34th anniversary in orbit, it was launched in 1990,

so it's been in orbit 34 years, it's just to only be in orbit for 15 years.

So it's well past its life and during the maintenance period

when the shuttle could go and do repairs, they must have replaced the six gyros on Hubble four times. So it's probably had close to I don't know two dozen

gyros over time they fail because they are moving part and they move very fast

and so even though technology has improved these things fail so in 2009 they move

these things fail. So in 2009 they gave Hubble six new gyrus.

You need a minimum of three gyrus to have three dimensional control of

the telescope so it could take very sharp images.

Over the last 15 years since that last repair mission, three gyros have failed

so it only has now three gyros and that's been the case from
