Hubble lives

WFPC2 is back on.

Status Report #7

"The current primary camera on the Hubble Space Telescope is now back in active operation and will resume science observations shortly.

Just before 9:30 a.m. EDT this morning on board Hubble, the telescope's science computer began to send commands to Wide Field Planetary Camera-2. These commands brought the computer out of the quiescent, safe state in which it has waited since the computer shut down on October 16."

Hope they bring NICMOS back up also.

Expect an interim call for proposals for WFPC2/NIC within a week or two.
If it is really working again.
