The Hubble Space Telescope, or HST, or just the "Hubble" for most folks, is a Ritchey-Chrétien reflector telescope. It has a primary mirror to reflect and focus the incident light. A link is provided below.

∙ 13y agoIf you are close enough to the Hubble, yes, you can see it from space.
Also, check out the related link. There, you can enter your location, and it will
give you instructions for when and where to look in order to see overpasses
of the HST from your location on the ground.

In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is some object that has been placed into orbit by humans. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from earths natural satellite the moon.
SO.... the hubble space telescope could be called a satellite.

∙ 11y agoThe Hubble telescope is a so-called Cassegrain reflector, which means it uses mirrors, two to be exact. A large one (primary reflector) for collecting the light, the smaller one (secondary reflector) for directing the light from the primary reflector to the observation opening.
Therefore, the Hubble telescope does not make use of a lens.
