The Chandra Telescope uses x-rays to examine outer space.
There are four: Hubble Space Telescope, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.
No, there's a great number of highly specialized telescopes in orbit. The most famous ones apart from Hubble are the Spitzer Space Telescope (for infrared) and the Chandra (for X-rays).
There's a great number of space-based X-ray telescopes. The most famous ones are Chandra, NuSTAR, Swift, XMM-Newton.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory is located in space, in Earth's orbit. It was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1999 and has been observing the universe in high-energy X-rays ever since.
The Chandra X-Ray telescope was launched from Space Shuttle Columbia, during mission STS-93, between July 23-27, 1999. It also marked the first Shuttle mission led by a female commander, Astronaut Eileen Collins.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory Cost: Development ~ $1.65 billion Launch Costs ~ $350 million Operations and Data Analysis (years 1-5) ~ $0.75 billion Operations and Data Analysis (years 6-10) ~ $245 million
