The Hubble Space Telescope will be limiting the speed at which it can target new objects in order to preserve its lifespan for as long as possible. The telescope has been having problems with its gyros over the last year, leaving only three operational. To preserve them, the Hubble team has decided to switch to using just one gyro at a time. This will still allow Hubble to make science observations and take pictures of space, but it will take longer for the telescope to move from one target to the next, resulting in a decrease in the number of observations it can make.
