Flying Blind - Hubble ACS is Out of Commission

NASA engineers are working round the clock on a problem related to Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The observatory entered a protective "safemode" condition and the camera has stopped functioning. It is feared that the ACS may be DOA until a Shuttle servicing mission can either repair or replace it in September 2008.
