There was not one specific day, nor one specific person -- rather, like most scientific inventions, it was a process that took some time and involved a number of scientists and researchers. Named after astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, the project was a collaboration between NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and several other organizations, including the European Space Agency. The research and experimentation for creating this kind of space telescope began in 1946, and continued throughout the 1960s. But it wasn't until the late 1970s that the Hubble project was funded by congress. After numerous problems and delays, the Hubble telescope was finally launched in 1990, with some needed fixes made to it by American astronauts in late 1993.
