Name one mission one telescope that has givin information about the planets?
Only one space mission has ever flown by Neptune, the Voyager 2. Launched in 1973, actually sixteen days before the Voyager 1, the probe passed by Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, finally reaching Neptune twelve years after its launch. Despite a problem with its radio system, Voyager 2was a very successful launch. All of its experiments acquired useful and interesting information; no equipment malfunctioned. Some of the most important Neptunian discoveries of Voyager 2 are:Neptune's highly inclined magnetosphereSix satellites (moons)Auroral zonesTwo new rings circling the planetStorms were discovered, particularly the Great Dark Spot
How long does it take for the shuttle to get to the moon?
The Space Shuttle isn't capable of going to the moon, and has never done it.The Shuttles operate in low earth orbit, typically between 200 and 300 milesabove the surface depending on the mission.Several STS (shuttle) missions have delivered parts, supplies, and people to theInternational Space Station, in orbit at altitudes between 200 - 242 miles.The Shuttle mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope was a rarity, at an orbitaldistance of 350 miles.The moon is located more than 240,000 miles from earth, more than 600 timesfarther than the shuttle has ever operated.
How would your life be without sateillites?
Not very different. We lived - quite happily - for many many centuries without them. What they have done, mainly, is to speed up previously available processes - such as weather forecasting, communications, and scientific monitoring of the planet. You'd lose your GPS systems, but maps were fine for many people. You'd lose instant TV pics from the other side of the world, but would that matter too much? You'd lose the Hubble space telescope - and that's serious, but not a major impact on most people's lives.
Two findings that have emerged from experiments done in space?
There are two findings that have emerged from experiments done in space. These are black holes and black nymphs.
Exploration of space beyond the moon has been done by?
space probes with no human crew
What is the name nasa's most famous telescope?
The first large space telescope was the Hubble, and it's probably still the most famous one. But a LOT of the new and exciting work being done is using the Kepler Space Telescope, a device which was specially designed to search for planets around neighboring stars.
What is better Reflecting or refracting telescopes?
The most serious astronomical research, such as that done by the Hubble Space Telescope, is done with reflecting telescopes.

What year did the Hubble Space Telescope explore Neptune?
Hubble has never "explored" Neptune. It is a telescope in orbit round Earth and from Earth it has "imaged" Neptune. It has done this several times eg 1996 and 1998 (there may be more times!).

Can the Hubble Space Telescope detect radio waves?
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.
Was the Hubble telescope discontinued?
Not yet. The Hubble Space Telescope is still in space, still operational. In fact, it received a substantial upgrade just last spring, with new gyroscopes, new sensors and a new communications array. But the main telescope cannot be upgraded without being entirely rebuilt, which cannot be done in space. The original plan was that the Hubble Space Telescope would be captured in orbit by the Space Shuttle, returned to Earth, and rebuilt. Later, it would be re-launched. But because the Space Shuttle fleet itself is scheduled to be retired in the next few years, this plan has been abandoned. The HST is tentatively scheduled to be de-orbited and crashed into the ocean in about 7 more years. With luck, there will be an even more powerful space telescope to replace it, but this is not yet firmly scheduled.
Did Edwin hubble have any other jobs?
Hubble worked with the astronomer G. E. Hale at the Mount Wilson observatory. He used methods and results by Henrietta S. Leavitt and V. M. Silpher. His long-time collaborator was M. L. Humason.
What type of telescope is the famous telescope that orbits the earth?
Telescopes that work with light and radio waves can work from Earth´s surface. Any other types of electromagnetic waves will hardly reach Earth's surface, so to use those (e.g., X-rays, infrared, and others), telescopes have to be taken to outer space.
Are there any problems in using a Reflector Telescope?
Generally instead of looking along the axis of the telescope as is done with a refractor sighting the object to view is more difficult since you view the eyepiece at right angles to the main axis of the reflector. The main way to overcome this is to make a hole in the centre of the mirror as is done in the Hubble telescope and view the image from behind the mirror. This is called a Cassegrain configuration.

Is the telescope manned?
Terrestrial telescopes are generally manned, while space telescopes are unmanned. However, to a greater and greater extent, the people doing the observing are not the people actually manning the telescopes; the observations are done remotely from other universities around the world. The various space telescopes, such as the Hubble, the Kepler, or the Spitzer, or the soon-to-be-launched Webb, are remotely controlled in the same manner that everything is controlled these days; remotely, via computer.
