Hubble Satellite
NASA's first telescope placed into orbit was the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO-2), launched on December 7, 1968. It was the first of a series of orbiting observatories designed to study celestial objects without the interference of Earth's atmosphere.
The Hubble Space Telescope was created by NASA with contributions from the European Space Agency. It was launched into space in 1990 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. The telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble.
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.
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 first space shuttle built for NASA was named "Enterprise." It was used for approach and landing tests in the atmosphere, but it never flew in space.

The Hubble telescope was the first telescope built by NASA and placed into orbit. The original launch for the telescope was delayed because of the disaster seen by the Challenger.

The Kepler space telescope was built by NASA's Ames Research Center in collaboration with Ball Aerospace. It was launched in 2009 with the primary goal of searching for exoplanets.

The first telescope was not built by NASA. It was built by Galileo. However, no one gives a f**k. It could've been built by anyone but was never recorded. If your teacher asks, just give him/her your middle finger and say no.
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope is a project of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA). It was launched by NASA in 1990 and has provided valuable insights into the universe through its observations.
