HST has been in continuous orbit since it was deployed in 1990.
It depends on the position of HST in orbit and where the information is being relayed to/from, but in general only a few seconds at its furthest point. HST is in a low-earth orbit to avoid the Van Allen belt, so its orbit is only a few hundred nautical miles high.
The Hubble Space Telescope or HST was launched aboard the space shuttle Dscovery during mission STS-31 on the 24th of April 1990.
HST was transported into orbit aboard Space Shuttle Discovery (mission STS-31) in April 1990. It was scheduled to be orbited earlier, but the shutdown of the Shuttle program following the Challenger accident delayed its deployment, not to mention increasing its maintenance cost because it sat on the ground (about 1 million per day). Astronauts successfully deployed and boosted HST into its orbit altitude of 569nm.Though any of the Shuttles can perform an HST Servicing Mission, Shuttles Discovery and Endeavour are usually preferred due to their larger payload bays (we can put more stuff in it).To date, HST has been in orbit and providing science data for over 20 years.
The HST was only launched once, in 1990 .
HST is the Hubble Space Telescope and was launched inside of space shuttle "Discovery" in 1990.
It has only been launched into orbit once. That was in 1990.
The shuttle that would put the Hubble into orbit finally launched on April 24, 1990.

The Hubble Space Telescope (or HST) is not in a geostationary orbit. The HST is located at an average altitude of 600 Km. Earths' geostationary orbit is at approximately 36 000 Km.
The HST was launched by NASA on board of the space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990.
The HST was launched on April 24, 1990.
He never launched such a telescope. It is named after him. He died in 1953, the HST was launched in 1990.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit in April 1990.
