The Hubble Space Telescope, along with most man-made satellites, is in a low earth orbit. It remains 559 km from the earth. This is much closer than the moon, which orbits at an average distance of 384,392 km. It would be very difficult to have a man made satellite orbit further away from the earth than the moon without the moon interfering in its orbit.
