Answer About 347 miles Answer About 568 km
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.
Hubble's orbit is 366 miles (589 kilometers) above Earth
The HST orbits at 569 km or 353 miles above Earth.
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).
The Hubble space telescope orbits between 562 and 567 km above the Earth.
Hubble does not have to contend with the atmosphere of the earth which bends and distorts images from earth-based telescopes. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_does_the_Hubble_Space_Telescope_give_clearer_images_than_those_from_earth
The object that floats above Earth to take pictures of planets and stars is a space telescope. Examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits the Earth, and the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be positioned at a Lagrange point in space. These telescopes are designed to capture high-quality images and data from space.
The Hubble Space Telescope orbits approximately 547 kilometers (340 miles) above the surface of the Earth. It travels at a speed of about 27,000 kilometers per hour (17,000 miles per hour), completing a full orbit around the Earth roughly every 97 minutes.
NASA's most famous telescope is probably the Hubble Telescope that orbits the earth.
No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.
The telescope in orbit around the earth as of 2010 is the Hubble Telescope.
