The reason why astronomers send things in space and not set them on a mountain, is because distortion becomes minimum. anything that goes in space will capture a better signal and picture of everything.
Satellites
The earth's atmosphere doesn't let these rays reach the ground, so the telescopes are placed in orbit where they can receive the rays.
Telescopes that work grounded on Earth include optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and infrared telescopes. However, space telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, do not operate from the Earth's surface. Instead, they are placed in orbit to avoid the Earth's atmosphere, which can distort observations.
All space telescopes are unmanned - unless you want to count the small telescopes on the Shuttle or IIS as space telescopes.
Telescopes are placed in space to view distant galaxies primarily to avoid atmospheric distortion and light pollution, which can obscure and affect the quality of observations taken from Earth. Space telescopes also provide a clearer and more stable view of the universe, allowing for more accurate and detailed observations of distant galaxies.
Some telescopes are placed in space to avoid the Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and absorb light from celestial objects. Atmospheric interference can blur images and limit the wavelengths of light that reach the ground. By positioning telescopes in space, astronomers can obtain clearer, more detailed observations across a broader range of wavelengths, including ultraviolet and infrared, which are blocked by the atmosphere. This enables more accurate studies of the universe and its phenomena.
Mainly visual and radio. But there are Xray, UV and IR.

Some frequencies of light are attenuated by water vapor.
It is a space based XRAY telescope
they use space probes,satellites,and of coarse,telescopes.
