What was the Space Shuttle's flight number that put the Hubble space telescope in space?
35
Which space shuttle flight put the hubble space telescope into orbit also what was their flight number?
Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31.
When was the Hubble set out to space?
Hubble was launched into space on April 24, 1990, at 8:33 a.m. EDT on board of the space shuttle Discovery with flight number STS-31.
Is theHubble telescope is an optical telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope has a number of instruments, but the primary one is an optical telescope.
Is Hubble the only telescope orbiting earth?
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).
How far can the Hubble telescope see in meters?
That number is in the neighborhood of 132,360,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 . (rounded to the nearest sextillion meters)
When did the hubble brake?
There have been a number of problems with the Hubble Space Telescope over the years. Possibly the most serious was that the primary mirror of the telescope was incorrectly made; it was out of focus! Since there was no way to test it prior to launch, scientists didn't discover this until AFTER it had already been launched from the Space Shuttle and released into orbit. It was a GIANT disappointment. (The Hubble Space Telescope couldn't be tested on the ground, because the structure isn't strong enough to support its own weight in gravity.)For almost a year, the Hubble's telescope was as blind as man with broken glasses. Another Shuttle mission was required to install a corrective lens and bring the pictures back into proper focus.Since then the biggest problems have been batteries, computer systems and gyroscopes; several gyros have been replaced, and the main computer was replaced, and new more powerful instruments installed just this summer. At the moment, I believe that everything is working properly.
Do hubble telescopes only uses visible light?
No, Hubble Space Telescope uses a variety of wavelengths to observe the universe, including ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. This allows it to capture a wide range of astronomical phenomena and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the cosmos.
What is the Difference between hubble space telescope and iternational space station?
There are a number of differences. First, they are in different orbits; the Hubble is higher than the ISS. The ISS is a lot bigger. Probably the most important difference is that the Hubble has a big telescope but no people, while the ISS has people but no big telescope.
What number of galaxies are in hubble field?
They are literally "uncountable"; every time we improve the telescope, we see more and more galaxies.
NASA and the European Space Agency cooperated in the launch of what?
NASA and the ESA have collaborated on a number of projects including SOHO, Ulysses, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Cassini-Huygens space probe. Recently, they were involved in the installation of the ESA Columbus module as part of the International Space Station.
When was the first space shuttle flight?
The first flight into space for a shuttle was on April 12, 1981 as mission STS - 1, with John Young and Robert Crippen on-board Columbia.The space shuttle Enterprise, which was never intended for flight into space, first flew on 12 August 1977 at the start of a number of non-space test flights.
