What is the name of a famous refracting telescope?
NASA's most famous telescope is probably the Hubble Telescope that orbits the earth.
What new telescope is nasa going to launch when the hubble space telescope falls back to earth?
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.
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 much money is spent each year on the Hubble Space Telescope?
When the Spitzer Space Telescope was first designed, it was going to cost over two billion dollars. Due to some clever design and orbit changes the total cost has dropped to $720 million, which includes all costs from 1996 through launch and initial checkout, including early concept and feasibility studies.Please visit the related link below for more.
What type of telescope is the famous telescope that orbits the earth?
The famous telescope that orbits the Earth is the Hubble Space Telescope, which is a space-based observatory launched by NASA in 1990. It observes in visible, ultraviolet, and near-infrared wavelengths and has provided significant contributions to our understanding of the universe.
Which space telescope is going to be launched after the hubble?
The James Webb telescope.

Where is the space shuttle Atlantis going?
Atlantis is going to the Hubble Space Telescope. This will be the final servicing mission and no spacecraft will travel to Hubble after this.
When is exoplanet gj 1214 b going to be studied using the hubble space telescope?
It actually has already. The Flat Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth GJ1214b from Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/1111.5621
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!
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.

Did the NASA space program really retire?
No they said they are going to come back
How long is the hubble telescope going to be used?
Since the Shuttle fleet has been retired, there's no longer any way (unless another one is developed) to service HST. Its last Servicing Mission was designed to keep it flying until at least 2015, but it's a safe bet they'll keep it flying as long as the gyros and the Fine Guidance Sensor are still operational. Once it's no longer operational, plans are to bring it down over the ocean in a controlled re-entry. Hopefully the James Webb Space Telescope, HST's successor, will be ready for launch in 2015, but there's already been talk by the current administration of scrapping the budget, which would not only cost millions of dollars and man-hours wasted, but eliminate thousands of jobs as well.
