Matt_dk writes "The U.S. space agency NASA says it plans to fix the Hubble Space Telescope by remote control this week.
The Hubble stopped beaming information to Earth about two weeks ago, when a data unit on the telescope completely failed.
Scientists Tuesday said they will bypass the failed unit and switch to a back-up system to restart the flow of information.
The computer glitch forced NASA to postpone a shuttle mission this month to repair the Hubble.
That shuttle mission has been postponed until next year." Link to Original Source
