Though not the first one, yet one of the most popular space telescopes is the Hubble Space telescope. It's named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, and was carried into orbit by space shuttle Discovery in April 1990. It marks a landmark in the growth of astronomy world over, and is also considered to be a vital research tool. During my trip to the US Space and Rocket Centre at Huntsville, Alabama as a member of Space Camp India (http://spacecampindia.com/) I had seen images sent back by the Hubble Telescope. We also got to learn how the telescope functions.
