they did not forget to put a lens in but there was a flaw in the original lens that it was launched with that had to be replaced

What year was the Hubble Space Telescope put into orbit?
The Hubble Space Telescope was put into the orbit in 1990 and is still there up until today. It already had to be repaired five times and is expected to stay in the orbit until at least 2013.
What space shuttle mission put a telescope in space?
The Hubble Space Telescope was carried into orbit on the STS-31 mission, by the space shuttle Discovery, in April, 1990.
a body thats orbits a planet is called?
Well the only things i can think of are moons, the satelite, and the hubble telescope. But I'm sure that there a few more that mankind has put into space.
Can you see the Hubble Telescope from a telescope on earth?
You don't even need a telescope to see it.Check out the website:Heavens-Above.comIt will have you put in your location, and then it'll tell you when the HST will be visible as a"moving star" from your location, within a couple of hours after sunset or before sunrise.It'll also tell you what direction to look, how high in the sky, how long the pass will last,and how bright the HST will appear. Plus, the site will give you the same information forthe International Space Station, and the Shuttle when there's a mission in progress.
What does stars twinkling have to do with the hubble telescope?
Ground-based telescopes suffer from being under the Earth's atmosphere. Movement and different densities in the earth's atmosphere causes the light from distant stars to be randomly refracted, and this appears to ground-based observers as 'twinkling' of the stars. For telescopes, these effects cause images to be distorted and blurred, and prevent the telescope's optics from operating at their best, and from getting the best possible images of planet, nebulae and galaxies. Although it is possible to compensate for the effects of the atmosphere with adaptive optics (literally adjusting the shape of the mirror to correct for these effects), the best way to avoid the effects of the atmosphere is not to have it there at all. The Hubble telescope was put into orbit around the Earth so that it is permanently situated above the atmosphere, and its users never have to worry about it distorting their images - this has allowed astronomers to get the best images of, for example, the most distant galaxies ever produced.

When was the first space telescope built by NASA place into orbit?
The Hubble telescope was the first telescope built by NASA and placed into orbit. The original launch for the telescope was delayed because of the disaster seen by the Challenger.

How you can see live people from satellite?
Viewing satellites have lenses just like a telescope here on earth or like the Hubble telescope in space. Put a big enough lens on it and you could see people from outer space. If you're asking if you yourself can do it, dream on, only the NSA or military would have access to that kind of technology.

Hubble was launched by the Discovery Shuttle, flight no. STS-31. It launched on 24 April 1990, 12:33:51 UTC.
