The Kepler space telescope was built by NASA's Ames Research Center in collaboration with Ball Aerospace. It was launched in 2009 with the primary goal of searching for exoplanets.
Hubble
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope is a project of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA). It was launched by NASA in 1990 and has provided valuable insights into the universe through its observations.
Galileo built the first telescope in 350BC. He used it to survey the night sky.
Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The Invention of the telescope is credited to three people Hans Lippershey, and Jacob Metius. The first records appear in 1608, more than 60 years before Kepler was born. The Kepler telescope was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies and launched by NASA in 2009. This telescope was not invented by Johannes Kepler but was merely named in his honor.
The first space telescope built by NASA is called the Hubble Space Telescope. It was launched into orbit in 1990 and has provided groundbreaking images and data about the universe since then.
The Hubble telescope was the first telescope built by NASA and placed into orbit. The original launch for the telescope was delayed because of the disaster seen by the Challenger.
NASA's first telescope placed into orbit was the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO-2), launched on December 7, 1968. It was the first of a series of orbiting observatories designed to study celestial objects without the interference of Earth's atmosphere.

Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope was created by NASA with contributions from the European Space Agency. It was launched into space in 1990 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. The telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble.
The HST was built under contracts passed by NASA and is operated by NASA. Therefore, it is property of the USA.
HST has actually been built under the control of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (responsible for design and optical part, subcontracted to Kodak and Perkin-Elmer Corp.) and Goddard Space Flight Center (science instruments and ground control). The overall spacecraft in which the telescope is housed was built by Lockheed.
