What is a disadvantage of having a telescope in space?

Answer 1

There are also disadvantages of having telescopes in space 1 is that they are expensive to run and maintain each launch can cost millions of dollars and building the telescope can cost many million as well. Transmitting the information to earth can take longer then telescopes on the ground and can require more power.

Answer 2

Before you can see the stars and the planets, you first have to see through the atmosphere.

And the atmosphere have clouds, particles, winds blowing through it, and layers of different temperatures.

All these things together will in some way obsckure and distort the view. Particles will stop the light from above coming down, and reflect light from ground sources into the telescope.

Temperature changes will cause shimmer, like over a road on a hot summer day.

Answer 3

A disadvantage of having a telescope in space is the high cost involved in building, launching, and maintaining it. Additionally, servicing the telescope in space is much more complex and limited compared to telescopes on Earth. Lastly, space telescopes are vulnerable to space debris and solar radiation which can potentially damage their delicate instruments.
