Where is the hubble space located?
The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth about 350 miles up.
Who came up with the idea for the hubble space telescope?
The focal point of all Hubble Space Telescope (HST) activities is the Space Telescope Operations Control Center (STOCC) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., where the orbiting observatory is managed.
Where can you see close up photos of Jupiter?
You can go to www.timeforkids.com/hubble P.S. Hubble is a space telescope.
How far up is the Hubble telescope?
559 km (347 miles)
How high up is the Hubble Space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope (technically it is not a 'spacecraft') orbits at 559 km (347 miles) above the Earth, at a speed of 7,500 m/s (17,000 mph).
Was the hubble space telescope built to observe objects without the interference of the earths atmosphere?
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope was built to observe objects in space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere. By being located above Earth's atmosphere, the Hubble Telescope can capture clearer and more detailed images of celestial objects.
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.
How do they repair the hubble telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope is repaired by sending Space Shuttle missions to it. Astronauts conduct repairs, upgrades, and maintenance tasks during these missions. They replace faulty components, install new instruments, and perform tests to ensure the telescope's functionality.
When will the hubble be decommissioned?
No further maintenance or upgrade of the Hubble Space Telescope is planned following the last work on it during 2009. It's hoped that Hubble will hold together and continue in operation until the Webb Space Telescope is launched in 2014.
How long will the Hubble space telescope stay up?
The Hubble Space Telescope is still going strong and could stay up until 2018. However there are many uncertainties. A critical part could get hit by a space rock. A gyro etc. could fail. Congress could quit funding it.
Why did Edwin hubble make a space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was flown into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31, on April 24, 1990. On the subsequent servicing mission, in December, 1993, flaws in the original optics were corrected.
What dose the Hubble telescope do?
Takes pictures of space that man cant! It also observes the movement in space and lets people know what is going on up there with out even going up there!
