HST orbits the Earth every 97 minutes at an orbital altitude of 347 miles.
The Hubble space telescope orbits the Earth at a speed of approximately 4.7 miles per second, or 282 miles per hour.
Hubble's orbit is 366 miles (589 kilometers) above Earth
The Hubble Space Telescope (technically it is not a 'spacecraft') orbits at 559 km (347 miles) above the Earth, at a speed of 7,500 m/s (17,000 mph).
The HST orbits at 569 km or 353 miles above Earth.
The Hubble space telescope is in near Earth orbit at a orbital height of 559 km (347 miles)
HST orbits the Earth every 97 minutes at an orbital altitude of 347 miles.
The Hubble space telescope orbits the Earth at a speed of approximately 4.7 miles per second, or 282 miles per hour.
The Hubble's orbital altitude is about 559 km (347 miles) above the Earth's surface ... less than half of the distance from New York to Chicago.
About 7,500 meters per second (24,600 feet per second, 16,800 miles per hour).
The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth about 350 miles up.
Hubble's orbit is 366 miles (589 kilometers) above Earth
559 km (347 miles)
The distance is about 5,000 miles, why do you ask?
The Hubble is in low earth orbit at about 589 km. A link can be found below which an investigator can follow for more information.
Answer About 347 miles Answer About 568 km
On our ability to view space is limited because of all the particles in our atmosphere that filter or refract light as it passes from space to us. The Hubble Space telescope was built to be an orbiting Telescope that was out of our atmosphere. It was used to probe the earliest reaches of the universe. The Hubble is roughly 370 miles from the Earth's surface. The newest space telescope created by NASA is the James Webb Space Telescope. That will be far more powerful than Hubble and will be in orbit around the sun 1 Million miles from Earth.
