HST's Near-Infrared Camera/Multi-Object Spectrometer(NICMOS), installed on Servicing Mission 2 in 1997, and repaired during Servicing Mission 3A, was installed specifically to observe the infrared spectrum.
The James Webb Space Telescope (formerly the Next Generation Space Telescope), currently in final design reviews (the final step prior to manufacturing and testing) is designed as an outer orbit (past the Moon) infrared space telescope. The technology involved in such a device has caused a few delays, as the temperatures at that distance are much colder than in Earth orbit, and present different challenges for a device that must respond to precise commands, as well as one that can't be repaired.

What invention was made after the Hubble Space Telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope was developed after the Hubble Space Telescope. It is designed to be the successor to Hubble and will study the universe in infrared wavelengths to help answer fundamental questions about the origins of the cosmos.
Over what range of wavelengths does the Hubble Space Telescope operate?
The Hubble Space Telescope operates in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths, ranging from about 0.1 to 2.5 micrometers. This range allows it to capture high-resolution images and study a wide variety of astronomical phenomena in space.
What was the hubble space telescope named after?
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who played a crucial role in changing our understanding of the universe by demonstrating that galaxies are moving away from each other.
Who was named after the hubble space telescope?
The asteroid 107P was named "Hubble" after the Hubble Space Telescope. This was done to honor the contributions of the telescope to astronomy and space exploration.
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.
What invention was made after the Hubble Space Telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope was developed after the Hubble Space Telescope. It is designed to be the successor to Hubble and will study the universe in infrared wavelengths to help answer fundamental questions about the origins of the cosmos.
Is the infrared light too long or short?

What telescope is replacing the Hubble telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is set to replace the Hubble Space Telescope and is scheduled to launch in 2021. The JWST will be the most powerful space telescope ever built and will study the universe in infrared wavelengths to observe objects that are difficult to see with other telescopes.
What kind of telescope is the hubble telescope?
HST is a Cassegrain reflecting telescope using the Ritchey–Chrétien design, with an aperture of 7.9' (2.4m). It has observational ability in the Ultraviolet, Infrared, and Visible light spectrums.
What telescope is in space?
The Hubble Space Telescope.

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 does the Hubble telescope get into space?
The Hubble telescope went into space in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle.
Is a Hubble space telescope a space telescope?
No, it isn't. The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflector. It has a primary mirror, and not a primary lens.
Which thing is called Hubble?
It is the one kind of telescope use in space. The Hubble Space telescope, is the one of the most common used-technology in space. The Hubble Space telescope was named after Edwin Hubble.
