On October 12, 2018, spaceflightinside, which monitors NASA activities, reports that: "On October 10, at approximately 9:55 am EDT (13:55 GMT), NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is put into 'safe mode' … This means that the telescope's scientific instruments were placed in a safe configuration, while critical equipment was switched to redundant power supplies. In addition, the telescope's solar panels have been aligned to maximize sunlight. Analysis of the available data indicates that the transition to safe mode was nominal, i.e. consistent with the normal protocol for such an event. All systems are functioning properly, scientific instruments are safe. The reason for entering Safe Mode is currently being investigated.and we (NASA) will post additional information when it becomes available."
On October 10, 2018, NASA tracking portal spaceflightinside reports that: “On Friday, October 5, at about 6:00 pm EDT (22:00 GMT), the Hubble Space Telescope went into safe mode. The scientific instruments of the observatory are fully functional, however, its activities have been suspended. The problem arose in working with one of the three gyroscopes with which the telescope is guided towards its targets.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a very mysterious and obscure organization. However, what is absolutely known about this organization is that everything is in order there and NASA has enough satellites. One more, one less - is this an event. But the problem is that the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope are not satellites, but Large Space Observatories, of which NASA had only four.
NASA also has the Spitzer space telescope, which, like the Hubble, monitors the infrared spectrum, but Spitzer has been in "safe mode" since 2009, having worked normally for only 6 years. And the X-ray spectrum, along with Chandra, was monitored by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, which burned up in the atmosphere back in 2000. Thus, NASA turned off not even half of its telescopes, but all - at least all of the most widely known ones. And all this happened in one week. Some kind of epidemic.
And in mid-September, the observatories suffered another epidemic, which began with an FBI raid on the Sunspot solar observatory in New Mexico. And 6 more observatories were closed at the same time with Sunspot:
1. AXIS 232D Network Dome Camera located in Sydney, Australia;
Promotional video:
2. Webcams at the SOAR Observatory, Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope, Chile;
3. Webcam of the BRT Tenerife telescope located in Spain;
4. Webcam at the Mauna Kea Observatory at the University of Hawaii Hilo;
5. Webcam at the Canada-France-Hawaii Observatory in Hawaii;
6. Webcam at the JAT Observatory in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania.
Now, as we can see, the closure epidemic is already raging in space.
Naturally, without having insiders in NASA, it is very difficult to explain what is happening. It is possible that we are talking about some kind of cyber attack on such objects. It is possible that this is preparation for the Carrington event, that is, the magnetic storm of a century or even a millennium. Finally, suspicions are also expressed about an attempt to hide some things that cannot be seen even by NASA personnel operating space observatories.
