Where is the hubble telescope right now in space?

HST orbits the Earth every 97 minutes at an orbital altitude of 347 miles.


What is the Hubble Telescope?

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space-based observatory launched by NASA in 1990. It orbits Earth and captures high-resolution images of celestial objects in visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light. Hubble has greatly contributed to our understanding of the universe and made countless scientific discoveries.


How long does it take for the Hubble telescope to orbit earth and at what speed?

The HST orbits at 569 km (353 miles) above Earth, orbits it in 97 minutes at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour (28,500 km per hour). In one second the HST travels almost 5 miles!


What speed does the hubble telescope travel?

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at a speed of about 17,000 miles per hour (27,000 km/h). At this speed, it completes an orbit around Earth approximately every 97 minutes.


Where is the Hubble telescope located in the world?

The Hubble Space Telescope is gravitationally bound to the world but is nowhere in the world. It is orbiting the earth in a nearly circular path 240 miles above the surface, completing one revolution every 100 minutes or so. I don't know the inclination of its path to the equator.


How high above the Earth does the Hubble Space Telescope orbit?

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits approximately 547 kilometers (340 miles) above the surface of the Earth. It travels at a speed of about 27,000 kilometers per hour (17,000 miles per hour), completing a full orbit around the Earth roughly every 97 minutes.


How long does it take for the space station to go around the Earth?

approx 16 orbits per day ,once every 90 minutes


How long does it take for the Hubble telescope to orbit the moon?

Because the Space Shuttle will have to fly at a higher altitude and different inclination that if it was going to the ISS (International Space Station), it will take a little under 3 days to get there. The Hubble Telescope operates past the reach of the Earths Atmosphere, at an orbit of approximately 360 miles above the Earth. Although it could techincally reach it sooner, there is a slight chance that the Space Shuttle may encounter some space junk, especially after the recent collision of two satellites orbitting the planet.


How fast does Hubble's telescope move?

The Hubble Space Telescope has an orbital velocity of 7,500 m/s (meters a second) or nearly 17,000 mph.


Where in space is the Hubble Telescope?

It is in a roughly circular orbit that constantly varies in the Earth ground track. The altitude is 347 miles (559 km) and it orbits the Earth once every 96 to 97 minutes. The sensitive astronomical instruments are always pointed away from the Sun and away from the Earth.


Where is the hubble space telescope located now?

Impossible to answer !... The Hubble Space Telescope is not located at a fixed point (geo-stationary orbit). It orbits the earth once every 95 minutes (approx) - at an inclination of 28.5 degrees. Therefore - although its position relative to the equator is fixed - it travels across the visible sky.


How long does the space station take to orbit the earth?

The International Space Station orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes. This means it completes about 16 orbits in a 24-hour period as it travels at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour.
