It was launched in 1990 with an anticipated life span of 25 years. The first servicing mission by the Space Shuttle in 1993 made repairs to correct errors in the optical telescope, and subsequent missions added new instruments. It is expected to reenter the Earth's atmosphere sometime after 2018, and NASA has plans to attach a booster rocket using a robot probe, so that Hubble's reentry can be controlled to miss human habitations and land in the ocean.

How many people built the hubble telescope?
More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.
Who created and built 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.
Who built the hubble telescope?
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).
How many tons does the hubble space telescope weght?
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.
How many people built Hubble space telescope?
More than 10,000 people made the Hubble Telescope. It took 20 years to make the Hubble Telescope.
What invention was made after the Hubble Space Telescope?
Right after The Hubble Space Telescope, many new inventions were made. :D
How many people can fit in a hubble spacecraft?
The Hubble is a telescope used to see deep space, it is not a spacecraft.
How many years will the Hubble Space Telescope observe over the entire sky of 100 billion galaxies since the Hubble Ultra Deep Field is roughly one ten-millionth of the sky?
It would take at least 1,000,000 years for the Hubble Space Telescope to observe over the entire sky of 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
How many satellites did the space shuttle discovery deploy?
31 (including the Hubble Space Telescope)
The light from distant stars and other objects can be distorted in many ways which type of optical telescope best avoids the problem caused by distortion?
Space Telescope such as the Hubble Space Telescope
How does hubble telescope accomplish?
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.
Why hubble spacecraft is used to explore space?
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.

How many astronauts live in the Hubble satellite?
None, it's a telescope used for deep space exploration.
What has the Hubble space telescope discovered in space?
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.
Who created and built the Hubble Telescope?
