Today, fourth episode of season 3 of our Sunday quiz. And a change in the game: this will be a question for the Nostalgeek. Indeed, find photos of devices that are not referenced by Tineye and Google becomes complicated...
The scale remains the same: 2 points for the first correctly responds in comments, 1 point for the other. The question will be asked Sunday, an index will be posted on our Facebook page Monday.
Question: which processor is currently used in the Hubble telescope and how long is it?
Good luck.
Important: to avoid the "spoilers" place your answer between the following tags. [# ffffff] Your answer [/ # ffffff]. The answer will be written in white, which will avoid to see the responses of other competitors "without doing so express". Comments giving a response without being placed in these tags will be not taken into account.
As each week, there is an index on the Facebook of Tom's Hardware page. For information, the correct answer has not yet been discovered.
The answer is interesting: If Hubble was launched with a DF-224, which was coupled to a 80386 in 1993. In 1999, NASA installed a map including a 80486 processor. In 2008, the 80486 main has had a problem, and it is the "face B" card has been activated: indeed, computer systems are lined to prevent problems... The processor actuel Hubble is an installed 80486 in 1999 but put in service in 2008.
