I do not believe that the Hubble is equipped for radio astronomy. Certainly it can "detect" radio waves; it is remote-controlled by radio. But most radio astronomy is done with earth-based dish antennas.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of ground based telescope?
a normal telescope can be projected further then a space telescope because it is bigger and more of it a space telescope in in space which lets it see further into space and is more exspensive to make ect
How are radio telescopes different from keck telescopes?
Keck telescopes do not exist, Keck telescope refers to the WM Keck Observatory on Mt. Kea.The Keck Observatory is comprised of several opticalreflecting telescopes, whereas aradio telescope consists of a large parabolic solid metal or screen reflector with a radioreceiver at its focus, built to detect and measure radio waves.
Is a satellite dish a form of radio telescope or antenna?
A radio telescope gathers and focuses radio waves, or electromagnetic waves outside the visual spectrum. A satellite telescope is sent outside the atmosphere to become a satellite of either the earth or sun, unless it is sent outside the solar system like the Voyager spacecraft. Many satellite telescopes carry several types of telescopes in one package to gather as much information as possible, like the Hubble.
What wavelength does the Lovell Telescope use?
The Lovell Telescope is a radio telescope at Jodrell bank (Cheshire U.K). It can observe wavelengths up to ~5 Ghz.
What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?
An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.
What can detect radio waves from objects in space?
A radio telescope.
What is a device used to detect radio waves from objects in space?
Radio Telescope
A device used to detect radio waves from objects in the space?
A radio telescope
A device used to detect radio waves from space?
they use radio waves to pick up some what satellite images or existance of things in space
Is the radio telescope an instrument which measures radiation?
A radio telescope has two basic components, a large radio antenna and a radio receiver. It is used to detect radio-frequency radiation emitted by objects in space.
Can radio waves penetrate Earth's atmosphere?
yes, this is why we had two-way radio contact ( and still do) with NASA manned space craft. Also don't forget . . . -- radio contact with Apollo astronauts on the moon -- radio contact with the International Space Station -- receiving pictures and data from the Hubble Space Telescope -- receiving TV at home from stationary satellites -- radio contact with Curiosity on Mars -- radio-astronomy
Telescopes cannot detect?
Telescopes can not detect any radiation for which they were not specifically built. For example, a radio telescope is specifically designed to detect radio waves. Also, telescopes can not detect radiation that is too faint for them. What is too faint depends on the capabilities of the telescope.
What parts of the em spectrum can the arecibo telescope detect?
It i detects Radio waves.
What the most major difference between telescope and a satellite?
A kalvin detect a metallic object in free space whereas a radio telescope is used for the purpose of sending or receiving data using similar techniques.
What are some space tools and devices?
some tools in space are RADAR, is a system for locating unseen objects the reflections of frequency radio waves. Another tool for space is the hubble space telescope (HST). Another space tool is a space suit so you can breate oxygen if you are outside the space shuttle.
What if the hubble telescope was on the dark side of the moon. i say this because the telescope then wont have the reflections of light from our planet from the sun?
Hubble was first and foremost designed to be serviced in space, unlike other satellites. However, if it was in a geosynchronous orbit on the dark side of the moon, we couldn't communicate with it due to the radio blackout that occurs. Hubble's instruments also compensate for ambient orbital light, and many observations are taken when Hubble is in orbit on the dark side of the Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope (originally named the Next Generation Space Telescope), the follow-on to HST, will however take advantage of lower light conditions by orbiting at the Sun-Earth Lagrange (L2) point, which is out past the Moon's orbital path. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, Herschel Space Observatory and Planck space observatory are already in orbit at the Sun-Earth L2 point.
What does a specialized non-optical telescope see?
There are telescopes used to detect radio waves and others to detect infrared radiation.
