The Lovell Telescope is a large radio-astronomy telescope located in England. As a radio telescope, it doesn't capture light waves to make pretty pictures; it captures radio waves in order to determine what other sorts of things might exist in space.
As a radio telescope, it really does its job well and has no major disadvantages. Unless you like pretty pictures; for that you'll need to go to hubblesite.com.

∙ 10y agoThe maximum range of astronomy by radar is very limited, and is confined to the solar system. This is because the signal strength drops off very steeply with distance to the target, the small fraction of incident flux that is reflected by the target, and the limited strength of transmitters.The distance to which the radar can detect an object is proportional to the square root of the object's size, due to the one-over-distance-to-the-fourth dependence of echo strength. Radar could detect something ~1 km across a large fraction of an AU away, but at 8-10 AU, the distance to Saturn, we need targets at least hundreds of kilometers wide. It is also necessary to have a relatively good emphemeris of the target before observing it.

What are the disadvantages of a telescope in space have over a telescope on Earth?
In space, has the chance of being hit by debree, but you can get better images, and better info. Also if something goes wrong it will take awhile to fix it. On Earth, Can be fixed fast, but cannot get as better info from in space telescopes.

Why are telescope eyepieces an important part of any visual telescope?
Telescope eyepieces are important of any visual telescope. It is the main part of the telescope and is what determines how the object will look like through the telescope.
