Summary

| Description |
English: As the COVID-19 pandemic upended lives and work around the world, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope team adjusted to keep the mission going despite the challenges.
Like many, the team had to work from home for several months to maintain social distancing and prevent the spread of the virus. In early 2020 before the virus, about 100 members of the Hubble operations team reported every day to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center where Hubble’s control center resides. These are the crews that “fly” the telescope. Now, only two team members at a time come in once a week to send commands and other important information to the telescope. Each person has an assigned partner who works the same shifts so that contact is limited within the team. The rest of the Goddard operations team continues to monitor the spacecraft — reviewing its mechanical, electrical, instrument, and software systems — and remains on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary. Hubble continuously sends information about the health and status of its systems down to the ground, where automated software verifies that everything on the spacecraft is working properly. If something goes wrong, the team receives an alert from the system. Before, team members would gather in person to determine the cause of the anomaly and how to get the spacecraft back on track. Many would then assemble in the control center to help monitor and verify the observatory’s recovery. Now, for safety precautions, only a few personnel required to command, oversee and test the spacecraft come in, while the rest of the team contributes remotely.
