It was actually 1.5 billion dollars. However, first images came back from the Hubble blurred, due to a faulty mirror. This was a big and even dangerous job to fix, and on top of that, it brought the total cost up to around $6 Billion USD. Ouch.

How much does the Hubble telescope weigh?
The Hubble Telescope weighs 24,500 pounds.
How much did the hubble space telescope cost?
The original total cost estimate for the Hubble Space Telescope started out at US$400 million. It eventually cost over $2.5 billion to construct. Overall, with repairs, upgrades and operating it, Hubble had cost US$10 billion as of 2010. These figures were reported by NASA in 2012. (See the references in the related links.)
How much does it cost to operate the Hubble?
it cost about $3,000 to oprate the hubble
Why did the Hubble telescope take off into space?
The problem with ground based telescopes is that the atmosphere distorts images, The Hubble space telescope is above the atmosphere and therefore can view with much better clarity.

How much did the SETI telescope cost?
They use many types of telescopes. You can probably pick up the cheaper ones for as little as $25,000. The Hubble Space Telescope cost $1,500,000,000 ($1.5 billion) just to build.

If the Hubble Space Telescope works so well why not make a much bigger one and get an even better picture of the universe?
Money, it all comes down to money. The Hubble telescope is a multimillion dollar thing, i think its total cost is in the billions. So imagine what a better one would cost! Plus, the Hubble telescope has been able to do everything we needed it to. So until it can't keep up, i think we will keep good old Mr Hubble.
How much did the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope cost?
From an original estimate of about $400 million, by the time of launch it had cost $2.2 billion and by today has probably cost twice that amount.
What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescope you have?
It's much more powerful
How much does it cost to operate the Hubble?
it cost about $3,000 to oprate the hubble
How far does the hubble telescope travel?
He doesnt travel.. The Hubble telescope is stationairy and only in space to bypass the atmosphere. The Hubble telescope maginfies so much, that if you are beneath the atmosphere, you get a blurry image. Like looking through a dirty window. So they shot it in space. Beyond the "dirty window".
