More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.
There were many scientists who created and built the Hubble Telescope under the auspices of NASA. The telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, an astronomer in the early 1900s.
Many people and organizations were involved in designing and building the initial parts of the Hubble Space Telescope. Lockheed (Lockheed Martin today) was the prime contractors for building the telescope, but there were many other contractors involved. The various instruments were designed by different combinations of universities, contractors, NASA, and ESA (European Space Agency).

The Hubble Space Telescope has a mass of 11,110 kilograms, or 11.11 metric tons. Before it was launched, it weighed 108,956 newtons (24,493 pounds). It has had no weight since April 1990, and at the present time, it still weighs nothing.
The HST orbits at 569 km or 353 miles above Earth.
More than 10,000 people made the Hubble Telescope. It took 20 years to make the Hubble Telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space observatory, not a spacecraft designed to carry people. It is operated remotely from Earth and was specifically built for a single purpose: astronomical observations.

Right after The Hubble Space Telescope, many new inventions were made. :D
It is possible if you can become involved in a project that has a grant to use the instrument. There are many organizations that get time on the telescope.
The Hubble Space Telescope is designed to see deep into space. So it has taken many fascinating photos of the outer reaches of the universe, or in our own galaxy. It has accomplished taking many photos for scientists to study, and for us to see.

Space Telescope such as the Hubble Space Telescope
None, it's a telescope used for deep space exploration.
Hubble is the name of a giant telescope that is in space. It is known as the Hubble Space Telescope and it is named after Edwin Hubble, who was a famous astronomer. It is very large and because it is outside the Earth's atmosphere it can get a clearer view of the stars, constellations, galaxies and other things it looks at, compared to a ground-based telescope. It has got some wonderful photographs and many new things have been seen with it and many new things have been learned about space by using it. That is why it is so important.
Because of Hubble, we now know how big and how old the universe is. Hubble also proved the existence of Black holes and showed there are many of them. It examined the composition of a world around another star.
