The HST sends 120 gigabytes of science data every week. This includes photos. Such data downloads are made every day.

What does Hubble do as it orbits?

It captures images of space, and then sends them back down to earth via satellite.


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.


What isa aenormus telescope floating in space that sends pics back to earth called in general?

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 can astronomers see the far side of the moon?

The moon always keeps the same "side" facing Earth, which also means that the other half of its surface is always facing away from Earth. The only ways to see that side are: -- Send a robotic spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have it photograph the back side when it's there, and then send those photos to Earth when it comes back around to our side. -- Send people in a spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have them photograph the back side when they're there, and then send those photos to Earth when they come back around to our side, or else save them up and bring the photos back to Earth with them.


Where was the Hubble Space Telescope launched to?

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 do the solar arrays do the hubble telescope?

The solar arrays on the Hubble Space Telescope convert sunlight into electrical energy, powering the telescope's instruments and systems. They enable Hubble to operate in the vacuum of space by providing a continuous source of energy, essential for its scientific observations and data transmission back to Earth. The solar arrays are critical for maintaining the telescope's functionality and supporting its long-term mission.


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


Will Hubble be back in the show bunheads?

I highly doubt it, since he died...
