How did they fix the Hubble Telescope?
The slight optical defect (known as a spherical aberration, and less than 4 microns, 1/5 the thickness of a human hair) discovered in the Hubble's primary mirror after it was deployed in space, was corrected by a system known as COSTAR (Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement). Built by Ball Aerospace, it was manufactured and tested between the Hubble's first deployment and her First Servicing Mission in 1993.COSTAR (since replaced, as all Hubble instruments installed after the FSM have corrective optics) worked much like corrective eyeglasses, using a system of tiny mirrors to correct for the flaw. The result of COSTAR's installation (and all of us who worked on it waited with our breath held until it was operational and the first pictures were in) was nothing less than spectacular, restoring Hubble to its original design specifications.
How much did the Hubble telescope cost to build?
It was actually 1.5 billion dollars. However, first images came back from the Hubble blurred, due to a faulty mirror. This was a big and even dangerous job to fix, and on top of that, it brought the total cost up to around $6 Billion USD. Ouch.
What do shuttles do in space?
space shuttles fix all kinds off satelites they help fix any kind of spacecraft.the space shuttles have been launching since 1977 from NASA.space shuttles are very useful space craft to help fix things in outer space .by George Philip if you like space shuttles a lot there is a Lego set
Why astronauts go into space?
To study space. To fix satellites and the spacial station. For curiosity.
How do Astronauts train for space?
they go in water and fix things
How is the hubble telescope getting fixed?
when there are problems with the hubble space telescope, astronomers send astronauts to go fix the problem.
How did astronomers fix the telescope for the Hubble Space Telescope?
By giving it "eyeglasses" just like your optometrist does to fix your vision. Initially by replacing the "High Speed Photometer" unit with the "Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement" unit. Later instruments had their own "eyeglasses", making the "Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement" unit unnecessary and it was replaced with the new "Cosmic Origins Spectrograph" unit.
Why do they need to repair the Hubble space telescope?
The best known Hubble repair mission was to install a fix to some flawed optics aboard the telescope. Other missions have been to replace other aging hardware and install more capable equipment for more advanced research.
Where was the Hubble Space Telescope built?
Once the Space Telescope project had been given the go-ahead, work on the program was divided among many institutions. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) was given responsibility for the design, development, and construction of the telescope, while theGoddard Space Flight Center was given overall control of the scientific instruments and ground-control center for the mission. MSFC commissioned the optics company Perkin-Elmer to design and build the Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA) and Fine Guidance Sensors for the space telescope. Lockheed was commissioned to construct the spacecraft in which the telescope would be housed. Perkin-Elmer was commissioned to build the optical components of the Hubble Space Telescope. The construction of the main mirror was begun in 1979 and polishing completed in 1981 in Danbury Connecticut.
What will happen to Hubble Space Telescope?
They will pull it back to Earth. It will get burned up long before it hits the ground. The reason for doing this is because the HST is getting old and it would take too much time and money to fix it.

How do you fix telescope on club penguin ski mountain?
Use your rench to fix the telescope
What are the disadvantages of a telescope in space have over a telescope on Earth?
In space, has the chance of being hit by debree, but you can get better images, and better info. Also if something goes wrong it will take awhile to fix it. On Earth, Can be fixed fast, but cannot get as better info from in space telescopes.
