GSFC is the primary NASA Center responsible for HST operations (HST Ops is run out of Johns Hopkins in Columbia, MD), and prior to the retirement of the Shuttle fleet, all activities involved in the various Servicing Missions. That included refurbishment/repair of common systems brought back from early HST SM's (e.g., RIU's, Gyros, PSU's, etc.), and engineering/design/oversight/QA/testing of new instruments that were eventually installed or replaced on HST.
The focal point of all Hubble Space Telescope (HST) activities is the Space Telescope Operations Control Center (STOCC) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., where the orbiting observatory is managed.
Yes, it is unmanned. The HST is controlled from the ground by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, USA.
The Hubble Space Telescope was built at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. It was then transported to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for launch into orbit.
Overall responsibility for the Hubble Program rests with the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. HST Operations are administered on behalf of GSFC by the Space Telescope Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University in Columbia, Maryland, about 20 minutes Northwest of GSFC.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in the cargo bay of a Space Shuttle that took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US.
HST has actually been built under the control of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (responsible for design and optical part, subcontracted to Kodak and Perkin-Elmer Corp.) and Goddard Space Flight Center (science instruments and ground control). The overall spacecraft in which the telescope is housed was built by Lockheed.
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

The Hubble Space Telescope.
The Hubble telescope went into space in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle.
No, it isn't. The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflector. It has a primary mirror, and not a primary lens.
It is the one kind of telescope use in space. The Hubble Space telescope, is the one of the most common used-technology in space. The Hubble Space telescope was named after Edwin Hubble.
