What year was the Hubble Space Telescope put into orbit?
The Hubble Space Telescope was put into the orbit in 1990 and is still there up until today. It already had to be repaired five times and is expected to stay in the orbit until at least 2013.
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.
How big does the earth look from the Hubble telescope with the naked eye?
First off, your question is contradictory. You cannot look at any object with a telescope and with your naked eye at the same time. Naked eye means that you are looking at the object without any visual aid. The Hubble Telescope is never pointed at Earth. The Earth is too bright from that height and that high intensity could damage the Telescope's cameras. For pictures of the Earth from space, you can look up some images from the ISS or the Space Shuttle.
Why is the Hubble Space Telescope located in space?
Well, isn't that just a wonderful question! The Hubble Space Telescope is up in space so it can have a clear view of the universe without any interference from Earth's atmosphere. Being up there allows it to take incredibly detailed and stunning images of the cosmos, leading to breathtaking discoveries and a deeper understanding of our place in the vastness of space. Just imagine all the wonderful things it has revealed to us!
Why is the Hubble Telescope located in space?
Well, friend, the Hubble Telescope is in space so it can see the universe with clarity and in great detail. By being above Earth's atmosphere, it avoids distortion and can capture incredible images of distant galaxies and stars. It's like having a front-row seat to the cosmic dance of colors and wonders.
Where is the hubble space located?
The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth about 350 miles up.
Who came up with the idea for the hubble space telescope?
The focal point of all Hubble Space Telescope (HST) activities is the Space Telescope Operations Control Center (STOCC) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., where the orbiting observatory is managed.
Where can you see close up photos of Jupiter?
You can go to www.timeforkids.com/hubble P.S. Hubble is a space telescope.
Was the hubble space telescope built to observe objects without the interference of the earths atmosphere?
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope was built to observe objects in space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere. By being located above Earth's atmosphere, the Hubble Telescope can capture clearer and more detailed images of celestial objects.
What year was the Hubble Space Telescope put into orbit?
The Hubble Space Telescope was put into the orbit in 1990 and is still there up until today. It already had to be repaired five times and is expected to stay in the orbit until at least 2013.
How do they repair the hubble telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope is repaired by sending Space Shuttle missions to it. Astronauts conduct repairs, upgrades, and maintenance tasks during these missions. They replace faulty components, install new instruments, and perform tests to ensure the telescope's functionality.
When will the hubble be decommissioned?
No further maintenance or upgrade of the Hubble Space Telescope is planned following the last work on it during 2009. It's hoped that Hubble will hold together and continue in operation until the Webb Space Telescope is launched in 2014.
How long will the Hubble space telescope stay up?
The Hubble Space Telescope is still going strong and could stay up until 2018. However there are many uncertainties. A critical part could get hit by a space rock. A gyro etc. could fail. Congress could quit funding it.
What dose the Hubble telescope do?
Takes pictures of space that man cant! It also observes the movement in space and lets people know what is going on up there with out even going up there!
Why did Edwin hubble make a space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was flown into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31, on April 24, 1990. On the subsequent servicing mission, in December, 1993, flaws in the original optics were corrected.
What have been the benefits to science due to the Hubble Science Telescope?
The benefits for science have been that we have seen further into space than ever before, we have looked at stars close up, we have given ourselves a bright future thanks to this telescope. Thank you Hubble!!!!!!
How far up in space is the Hubble Telescope?
The Hubble's orbital altitude is about 559 km (347 miles) above the Earth's surface ... less than half of the distance from New York to Chicago.
