The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflector, so its objective is not a big-moose lens at the front;
it's a big mirror in the back.
The diameter of the objective mirror is 2.4 meters(7.87 feet), (94.5 inches).

Why the hubble has a door to cover the aperture?
To keep the lens from getting damaged
Did they forget to put the lens on the Hubble telescope?
they did not forget to put a lens in but there was a flaw in the original lens that it was launched with that had to be replaced
What kind of telescope is the hubble telescope?
HST is a Cassegrain reflecting telescope using the Ritchey–Chrétien design, with an aperture of 7.9' (2.4m). It has observational ability in the Ultraviolet, Infrared, and Visible light spectrums.
Who was the hubble telescope named after?
The Hubble Telescope was named after its designer Edwin Hubble.
What is the Hubble space telescope's magnification?
It does not have a magnification properly speaking since it works as a camera, not a visual telescope. The aperture of the Cassegrain-Schmidt mirror is 2.4 m. The main camera has 16 MB.
Is a Hubble space telescope a space telescope?
No, it isn't. The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflector. It has a primary mirror, and not a primary lens.

What was the trouble with the Hubble space telescope?
A flaw in the lens
What makes the Hubble telescope from the other telescope?
the hubble telescope is a refracting telescope and it is the biggest one because the refracting telescope can only have a certain range of size for the glass lens because it can only hang on the telescope and it is aproximently 5 meters big the lens. hope it helped

What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.

What type of telescope is the hubble telescope?
The Hubble telescope was a basic reflector telescope with a 94.5 ft mirror. The Hubble collects light though its open end, the primary mirror reflects the light to a secondary mirror that then reflects the light through a hole in the primary mirror to a focal point of the instruments or eyes of the Hubble.

The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble.

What was Edwin Hubble know for?
Telescope, hence the hubble telescope!
