I've wondered for the entire life of Hubble how it could work without thrusters, and didn't know exactly what a "reaction wheel" is. You're video gave me a satisfactory and gratifying explanation. Thank you.
Legion of Weirdos I didn’t know what the magnetic torque rods were until I researched this video. I thought they were stability rods to maintain structural integrity during launch. The more you know...
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing on this. I had wondered about it for sometime, but glad you put put it out in common terms easy to understand. You're awesome sir!
thanks chris i didn't know about the magnetic torque bars what a brilliant idea thanks for the hubble update and the link... sorry i missed this video i never got a notification from youtube great reaction wheel demo in the classroom on how they work to turn hubble ... quality video thanks for posting it cheers james D
James Dougan my pleasure, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I didn’t know those rods were magnetorquers until I researched this video. And I worked on HST for 5 years!
Thanks for so many pieces of info! I haven't realized many of them... About positioning... About forces in space... Mind explodes! How sophisticated Huble telescope is!
Have to admit that was news to me as well when I was researching this and I actually worked on the thing for 5 years! Good thing I was doing science ops and not engineering :)
Wow Chris , am soo surprised how do you gather this huge amount of info , really wish I had the sources too to learn more about space and recent ongoings in space tech for which am a super fan If possible please make vidoes on starshade and laser sails for interplanetary travel , Your channel is best for astronomy looking forward to see more no of videos
Thank you so much for the kind words! I am planning on talking about starshade in an upcoming video. While the channel is about astronomy, I'll probably end up tackling the challenges of interstellar travel at some point. Cheers!
Thanks! I downloaded the template from this address: hubblesite.org/the_telescope/hand-held_hubble/paper-intermediate.php It took me a while to put it together and would do it differently the next time around. Cheers!
Thank you,at least one video is there which elaborates clearly about reaction wheels and gyroscopes of Hubble!! And it would be great if u post another video related on JAMES WEB

Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful!
The magnetic parts of this are mind-blowing.

These are soooooo good and informative! I can’t believe it’s been 28 years - great video Christian!
Thank you, my man! 🍧 (← random emoji)

Stoney Creek Heritage Farm thanks buddy I appreciate it!
Very informative. Good stuff.
Thanks!

Interesting stuff. It's amazing how long it has lasted and I feel like its still state of the art even 28 years last.
Thanks man.Still going strong (gyros notwithstanding)!
I've been wondering about this for quite some time. Thanks for the video!
kitesurf4life thank you very much, I’m so glad you found it helpful!
Thanks Christian, for pointing out how Hubble points! Great info!
My pleasure, and thank you for the kind words!
Awesome explanation!
Thank you!
Thanks for so many pieces of info! I haven't realized many of them... About positioning... About forces in space... Mind explodes! How sophisticated Huble telescope is!
Thanks so much! Yeah, there's a lot going on and the engineers who designed Hubble had to think about a lot more than I ever would have :)
Thanks so much! Yeah, there's a lot going on and the engineers who designed Hubble had to think about a lot more than I ever would have :)
Thank you! I always wondered.
ps: I can't believe you have so few subscribers and views! Keep it up
Thank you very much. It's a small channel but we're getting there :)
Hey Chris,
I thought I had already subscribed to you but just checked and realized otherwise. I fixed that ;)
No worries, mate. I'm glad to have you aboard!
Another excellent video. Packed with information on how Hubble orients itself.
Thank you! Yeah, there's a lot going on in Hubble's pointing control system.
Christian, you know your stuff!
Thanks Phil, I really appreciate it!
I never knew about the magnetic rods!!!!!! Wowwww. Unbelievable
Have to admit that was news to me as well when I was researching this and I actually worked on the thing for 5 years! Good thing I was doing science ops and not engineering :)
Thank you very much. I didn't know and now I do. Very kind of you to share your knowledge.
thank you so much for sharing this knowledge . i love this astonomy
I'm glad you enjoy the channel and am happy to have you aboard!
this video is pure gold
Thanks!
Hello. New to your channel. Just subscribed :)
Thanks for sharing these details. Most other channels don't go into so much detail.
I'm very glad you're here and happy to have you along for the ride!
Thanks for this video, it's very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!

@@LaunchPadAstronomy thanks a lot for reply ^_^
How to make models like yours, it's amazing. And great info.
Thanks! I downloaded the template from this address: hubblesite.org/the_telescope/hand-held_hubble/paper-intermediate.php It took me a while to put it together and would do it differently the next time around. Cheers!
This is a great explanation. Thank you.
amazing explanation!!
hello , i want to know how the FGSs works ....Thank you sir
Thank you,at least one video is there which elaborates clearly about reaction wheels and gyroscopes of Hubble!!
And it would be great if u post another video related on JAMES WEB
James Webb feels a bit like fusion reactors
super durable
Excellent sir thanks for sharing
You're most welcome!
thanks
Extremely sad for my eqm35pro compared to this.
Mind blowing
This guy is born ready
What fuel powers the Hubble ?
I love it
I just love Engineering
It amazing how human beings were able to engineer these in 1990s with their small brains, half-foot in size.
Speak for yourself, lol.
I always wondered how it could take such long exposures of such distant objects. Doesn't the earth get in the way every orbit?
In most cases, it does get in the way so the exposures are broken down into individual orbits and added together. Thanks for subscribing!
