The Hubble Space Telescope was the boxcar-sized instrument lifted into orbit by the shuttle Discovery in 1990. This telescope has provided groundbreaking observations and images of the universe, leading to numerous scientific discoveries.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit by NASA's space shuttle Discovery on STS-31 on April 24, 1990.

The telescope in orbit around the earth as of 2010 is the Hubble Telescope.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit on April 24, 1990 by the Space Shuttle Discovery.
HST is the Hubble Space Telescope and was launched inside of space shuttle "Discovery" in 1990.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit by NASA's space shuttle Discovery (mission STS-31) on April 24, 1990.
The shuttle that would put the Hubble into orbit finally launched on April 24, 1990.
The Hubble Space Telescope was designd and manufactured on Earth, at a cost of about 1.2 billion dollars. It was then carried into space aboard the Space Shuttle, and inserted into orbit on April 24, 1990.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a joint venture between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States. In April 1990, NASA launched the Hubble telescope into orbit aboard the space shuttle Discovery.
HST was transported into orbit aboard Space Shuttle Discovery (mission STS-31) in April 1990. It was scheduled to be orbited earlier, but the shutdown of the Shuttle program following the Challenger accident delayed its deployment, not to mention increasing its maintenance cost because it sat on the ground (about 1 million per day). Astronauts successfully deployed and boosted HST into its orbit altitude of 569nm.Though any of the Shuttles can perform an HST Servicing Mission, Shuttles Discovery and Endeavour are usually preferred due to their larger payload bays (we can put more stuff in it).To date, HST has been in orbit and providing science data for over 20 years.
