Terrestrial telescopes are generally manned, while space telescopes are unmanned. However, to a greater and greater extent, the people doing the observing are not the people actually manning the telescopes; the observations are done remotely from other universities around the world.

The various space telescopes, such as the Hubble, the Kepler, or the Spitzer, or the soon-to-be-launched Webb, are remotely controlled in the same manner that everything is controlled these days; remotely, via computer.

What is the Difference between hubble space telescope and iternational space station?

There are a number of differences. First, they are in different orbits; the Hubble is higher than the ISS. The ISS is a lot bigger. Probably the most important difference is that the Hubble has a big telescope but no people, while the ISS has people but no big telescope.

What would be the effect on magnification to increase the focal length of microscope and telescope?

The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.
