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.

NASA realized that one of the panels was ground incorrectly the following month. In 1993 NASA sent Columbia up to fix the Hubble. When Columbia crashed all service missions to Hubble were terminated. The Hubble has now been doomed to fall apart piece by piece in space.

Earth. But if you know when and where to look for it, you can see it pass over the
area where you're located on Earth. Check out the related link below.
