HST's Near-Infrared Camera/Multi-Object Spectrometer(NICMOS), installed on Servicing Mission 2 in 1997, and repaired during Servicing Mission 3A, was installed specifically to observe the infrared spectrum.
The James Webb Space Telescope (formerly the Next Generation Space Telescope), currently in final design reviews (the final step prior to manufacturing and testing) is designed as an outer orbit (past the Moon) infrared space telescope. The technology involved in such a device has caused a few delays, as the temperatures at that distance are much colder than in Earth orbit, and present different challenges for a device that must respond to precise commands, as well as one that can't be repaired.

Is a Hubble space telescope a space telescope?
No, it isn't. The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflector. It has a primary mirror, and not a primary lens.
Which thing is called Hubble?
It is the one kind of telescope use in space. The Hubble Space telescope, is the one of the most common used-technology in space. The Hubble Space telescope was named after Edwin Hubble.

they created the hubble space telescope in April 1990
What type of telescope does the hubble space use?
The Hubble Space telescope is a reflecting Telecope
Why was the Hubble Space Telescope related to Edwin Hubble?
Edwin P. Hubble is related to the Hubble space telescope because he suggested that we launch a telescope into space so they named it after Edwin's last name, Hubble.
