The CGRO can be compared to the Hubble Space Telescope and other such space observatories such as the Chandra X-ray observatory. Therefor, no the observatory is not manned but rather controlled by ground personnel. After loosing one of its gyroscopes (used to maintain altitude and orientation) NASA decided that it would be in the best interest for the inhabitants of planet Earth (for safety reasons) to de-orbit the CGRO. On the 4th of June 2000, the CGRO burned up over the Pacific Ocean in a controlled reentry procedure.
