How is the hubble telescope getting fixed?
when there are problems with the hubble space telescope, astronomers send astronauts to go fix the problem.
Where might one view pictures taken with the Hubble Telescope?
To view pictures taken by the Hubble Telescope you can go to Hubble Site, Space Latest Views, Space Telescope, NASA, Discovery Channel and National Geographic.
Did Edwin Hubble have anything to do with the Hubble Space Telescope?
No, Edwin Hubble had nothing directly to do with the Hubble Telescope, it was named for him because he profoundly changed the understanding of the nature of the universe. Hubble died before the the physical exploration of space began. Hubble also created his own Hubble telescope back in 1929 but it is not the orbiting Hubble telescope. Go to the NASA website for more information.
Where can you see close up photos of Jupiter?
You can go to www.timeforkids.com/hubble P.S. Hubble is a space telescope.
Why did space shuttle Discovery go to space?
the shuttle went into space because it launched the Hubble space telescope.
Who was the first person to go to space in the hubble telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope never carried any living being. It has been maintained and updated by astronauts who navigated to it aboard the Space Shuttle, but never served as a vehicle for anybody's transportation.
In what year did the Hubble space telescope go into operation?
The Hubble telescope was launched in 1990, but faulty optics limited its use until a shuttle mission made repairs in 1993. Other servicing missions improved its onboard instruments. It will be mostly superseded by the James Webb Space Telescope planned for launch around 2018.
Where was the Hubble Space Telescope built?
Once the Space Telescope project had been given the go-ahead, work on the program was divided among many institutions. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) was given responsibility for the design, development, and construction of the telescope, while theGoddard Space Flight Center was given overall control of the scientific instruments and ground-control center for the mission. MSFC commissioned the optics company Perkin-Elmer to design and build the Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA) and Fine Guidance Sensors for the space telescope. Lockheed was commissioned to construct the spacecraft in which the telescope would be housed. Perkin-Elmer was commissioned to build the optical components of the Hubble Space Telescope. The construction of the main mirror was begun in 1979 and polishing completed in 1981 in Danbury Connecticut.
Where can you go to use the Hubble telescope?
NASA
What is a flyby space probe?
A flyby space probe is a spacecraft that passes close to a celestial body to take scientific measurements and images without entering orbit. Flyby missions are often used to study planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in our solar system. The spacecraft relies on its velocity to gather as much data as possible during its brief encounter.
Where is the Hubble Telescope now?
It is in space. When you want to know precisely go to the related link where you can select the HST (register your own location and you will get a list of fly-overs for your town) and follow its track over the globe.
Did space shuttle Columbia ever go to the International Space station?
No, the space shuttle Columbia did not visit the International Space Station. It was primarily used for scientific research in low Earth orbit and servicing missions for the Hubble Space Telescope. The International Space Station was visited by other space shuttles in the fleet.
