The shuttle that carried it launched at 0833 on April 24 1990 but what time the next day was the Hubble space telescope deployed?

To the best of my knowledge and intensive research among all the available photos and videos there is no record telling the exact hour of deployment of the HST. It appears that this information has not been considered of importance. The EXIF-files of the images of the HST taken during the deployment are not available. There are a few shots showing the HST immediately after deployment with clearly recognizable features of the land below, e.g. Cuba and the Bahamas, in broad daylight. Looking at details of such photos gives an estimated time of about 11 hours local time in Cuba which would be 14 hours GMT (UTC).


What was wrong with the HST after it was launched into orbit. When and how was it fixed?

After its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was found to have a significant issue: its primary mirror was ground incorrectly, causing images to be blurry. This spherical aberration stemmed from a miscalibration of the polishing machines used during its construction. The problem was addressed during a servicing mission in December 1993, when astronauts installed corrective optics called the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR), which restored Hubble's imaging capabilities. Subsequent servicing missions further enhanced its instruments and capabilities, ensuring its long-term success.
