When the Hubble's mirrors were first manufactured, they were polished and curved to exacting standards and very high tolerances in order to retrieve the highest quality images. However, the mirrors were obviously made in the Earth's gravity. When the Hubble was launched and the mirrors were in "micro gravity" (free-fall) the mirrors deformed very slightly, but just enough to return slightly fuzzy images. A repair was designed to repair the slight deformation years later.
