They haven't. Hubble is still goes around Earth once every hour and a half, and continues to take pictures. When it is too old, and all it's cameras fail, it will fire its small rocket engines and crash into Earth's atmosphere, where it will burn up. This will probably occur above the Pacific Ocean in the next 5-6 years.
What else can I help you with?
Where was the Hubble Space Telescope launched to?
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 into space to take pictures the Earth and to relay them back to its ground crew. See the official Hubble Space Telescope website: http://hubblesite.org/ ~ Hexedgirl92
Is the hubble space telescope a space station or a space shuttle?
The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope, not a space station or a space shuttle. It was launched into space in 1990 and orbits the Earth, capturing images of the universe. The telescope has provided valuable insights into the cosmos and has been serviced multiple times by space shuttle missions.
Outline what prevents the hubble telescope from falling back into the earth orbit?
The service call Columbia provide a 36 mins boost to move Hubble's orbit by about 6km. Without a boost, Hubble and other satellites would fall back into earth's atmosphere, burning up on re-entry.
What is Space Shuttle used for?
The Space Shuttle was used by NASA for human spaceflight missions, such as deploying satellites, conducting research in microgravity, and servicing the Hubble Space Telescope. It served as a reusable spacecraft for launching missions into space and returning them safely back to Earth.
What was wrong with the Hubble Space Telescope when it was first launched?
When they started getting images back from the Hubble, thee was a distortion that should not have been there, and it was keeping the telescope from capturing really good images. It later turned out that there had been a mistake made in grinding the curved mirror.
What isa aenormus telescope floating in space that sends pics back to earth called in general?
Hubble space telescope and international space station!

Did Edwin Hubble have anything to do with the Hubble Space Telescope?
No, Edwin Hubble had nothing directly to do with the Hubble Telescope, it was named for him because he profoundly changed the understanding of the nature of the universe. Hubble died before the the physical exploration of space began. Hubble also created his own Hubble telescope back in 1929 but it is not the orbiting Hubble telescope. Go to the NASA website for more information.

What new telescope is nasa going to launch when the hubble space telescope falls back to earth?
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.

Did Lou Montagnino have to pay back the government for when he didn't catch the error on the Hubble telescope?
Yes and No. No he did not have to pay them.
How are telescopes used in the world?
they can look beyond our planet and into our solar system some like the hubble telescope can take pictures of universes and send pics back to earth pics= pictures

When was the hubble space telescope sent in to space?
HST has never been brought back to Earth since it was deployed, though bringing it back to Earth onboard a Shuttle after the mirror flaw was discovered was seriously discussed at NASA HQ.In the end, the cost and risk of damage to HST should such a flight have occurred, would've outweighed the benefits of its observations to the scientific community and the Earth as a whole.HST's current life will end when her gyros finally fail, as it requires the gyros to keep the telescope stationary for precise stellar observations. At that point (estimated to be sometime in the next 5-10 years), HST will be brought into the Earth's atmosphere for a controlled descent burnup over the ocean.
Which man-made object is presently farthest away from the earth Is it the hubble satelite?
The farthest man-made object from Earth is Voyager 1 spacecraft, which was launched by NASA in 1977. It has since traveled beyond our solar system and continues to transmit data back to Earth. Hubble Space Telescope is in low Earth orbit and not as far from Earth as Voyager 1.
Why does Hubble have 2 solare panlse?
For power ! The telescope has a bank of rechargeable batteries on board. They power the on-board instruments (including the data-links back to earth, and are charged by the solar panels pointing towards the sun.
