With the last HST Servicing Mission completed, and the last Shuttle mission coming up this month (July 2011), there won't be any more servicing missions to HST, unless there's a breakthrough in new space vehicle technology that would permit it, and funding was authorized. Having worked the HST program for 9 years, I can honestly say the odds are slim and none that it will ever be visited again. HST was specifically designed to be captured and serviced in the Shuttle's payload bay; it would require an enormous amount of design for a new vehicle to accomplish the same task.
With the predicted completion / launch of the James Webb Space Telescope in the next few years, HST will likely end by it controllers navigating it to a planned de-orbit burn over the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean when its systems are no longer usable. This isn't something new; HST has far exceeded its predicted life span of 15 years, and a de-orbit burn at its end-of-life has always been planned.
Telescope, hence the hubble telescope!
The Hubble Telescope was named after its designer Edwin Hubble.
what is the comparison between Hubble telescope and Galileo telescope
The Hubble telescope is unique because it was the first space telescope. Also, the Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile.
Edwin Hubble
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who played a crucial role in changing our understanding of the universe by demonstrating that galaxies are moving away from each other.

The Hubble Telescope weighs 24,500 pounds.
He didn't. Edwin Hubble died in 1953. The telescope was named in honour of him.
More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.
