NASA announced that one of Webb's seventeen observing modes is not functioning due to a hardware issue which is currently under review.
While the James Webb Space Telescope has been both a huge popular success and a highly effective research tool so far, not everything is perfect with the new observatory. This week, NASA announced that one of Webb’s 17 observing modes is not functioning due to a hardware issue that is currently under review.
Each of the instruments can operate in different modes, such as switching between imaging and spectroscopy. There are seventeen of these modes in total, and it is one of MIRI’s modes that is not functioning.
