Despite being down to two operational gyroscopes, Hubble is still expected to operate well into the 2030s, NASA said.

The venerable Hubble Space Telescope is running out of gyroscopes, and when none are left, the instrument will cease to conduct meaningful science. To preserve the telescope, which has been ...

But unlike microphones, gyroscopes — found as standard in most modern smartphones — don’t have the same protections. Gyroscopes are used to detect the rate of rotation of the smartphone, and ...
