Space shuttle Discovery flew a mission in April 1990 to launch the Hubble Space Telescope.
The Hubble telescope went into space in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle.
The space shuttle Discovery launched the Hubble Telescope into space.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit on April 24, 1990. Hubble was funded in the 1970s with a proposed launch in 1983, but technical and budget problems delayed the launch for seven years.
In 1990, NASA used the Space Shuttle Discovery to launch various missions, including deploying the Hubble Space Telescope and conducting scientific research experiments. Discovery completed a total of 39 missions during its operational lifespan.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit aboard NASA's space shuttle Discovery (mission STS-31) on April 24, 1990.The Hubble Space Telescope was originally meant to be launched in 1986, but the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger delayed the launch until April 24th 1990.The Hubble telescope is now seen as one of the most versatile telescopes in space. After it was launched in 1990, astronomers had a chance to change and improve the telescope through missions by astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle.
NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope on the space shuttle Discovery (STS-31) on 24 April 1990 and the telescope was released two days later on the 26th.
The space shuttle mission that put the Hubble Space Telescope in space was STS-31, which launched on April 24, 1990. The Hubble Space Telescope has provided invaluable insights into the universe and revolutionized our understanding of space.

The Hubble Space Telescope was carried as cargo aboard a Space Shuttle mission in April of 1990.
The Hubble Space Telescope is not as big as the moon. It is as big as the space shuttle cargo bay.
