Outline what prevents the hubble telescope from falling back into the earth orbit?
The service call Columbia provide a 36 mins boost to move Hubble's orbit by about 6km. Without a boost, Hubble and other satellites would fall back into earth's atmosphere, burning up on re-entry.
Where was the Hubble Space Telescope launched to?
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 into space to take pictures the Earth and to relay them back to its ground crew. See the official Hubble Space Telescope website: http://hubblesite.org/ ~ Hexedgirl92
Is the hubble space telescope a space station or a space shuttle?
Neither. The space station is an orbiting laboratory with living spaces. A shuttle takes astronauts to the space station and back to earth. The Hubble is an un-manned orbiting observatory.
How did the scientist get the hubble telescope back to earth?
They haven't. Hubble is still goes around Earth once every hour and a half, and continues to take pictures. When it is too old, and all it's cameras fail, it will fire its small rocket engines and crash into Earth's atmosphere, where it will burn up. This will probably occur above the Pacific Ocean in the next 5-6 years.
What is the difference between a space probe and rover?
A rover simply roves and explores a planet and is designed to move across the surface of a planet or other astronomical body. and a probe is like a missile and gets shot out of the earths atmosphere very very fast and when is up in space takes photos and sends them back to earth, kind of like the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

What does Hubble do as it orbits?
It captures images of space, and then sends them back down to earth via satellite.

How can astronomers see the far side of the moon?
The moon always keeps the same "side" facing Earth, which also means that the other half of its surface is always facing away from Earth. The only ways to see that side are: -- Send a robotic spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have it photograph the back side when it's there, and then send those photos to Earth when it comes back around to our side. -- Send people in a spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have them photograph the back side when they're there, and then send those photos to Earth when they come back around to our side, or else save them up and bring the photos back to Earth with them.

What isa aenormus telescope floating in space that sends pics back to earth called in general?
Hubble space telescope and international space station!
Did Edwin Hubble have anything to do with the Hubble Space Telescope?
No, Edwin Hubble had nothing directly to do with the Hubble Telescope, it was named for him because he profoundly changed the understanding of the nature of the universe. Hubble died before the the physical exploration of space began. Hubble also created his own Hubble telescope back in 1929 but it is not the orbiting Hubble telescope. Go to the NASA website for more information.

Did the mars rover ever send rocks to earth?
The Rover does not have that technology. It is their to take photos and send back results of tests.
What is the pupuse of the Mars rover?
It must be capable of sending high resolution photos back to Earth.
What new telescope is nasa going to launch when the hubble space telescope falls back to earth?
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.
