According to Wikipedia - it was launched on 25th August 2003 - which was a Monday.
The Spitzer space telescope was launched on 25th August 2003.The concept and design started around 1983.See related link for more information
The primary task of the Spitzer Space Telescope was to observe the universe in infrared light. It was designed to study objects that are too cold or faint to emit visible light, such as dusty regions of space, exoplanets, and distant galaxies.
The Spitzer Space Telescope studies the universe in infrared light. This allows it to observe cooler objects in space, like exoplanets, cold dust clouds, and distant galaxies, that emit infrared radiation that is invisible to the human eye.
The Spitzer Space Telescope stays cool by using a passive cryogenic system that includes a large dewar filled with liquid helium to keep its instruments cold. The telescope is also shielded from the Sun and Earth by a sunshade to prevent it from heating up. Additionally, the telescope is designed to minimize heat-generating components and uses a combination of reflective and emissive materials to regulate temperature.

The Spitzer Space Telescope was not invented by a single individual. It was a collaborative effort involving NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and multiple other organizations. The telescope was named after astrophysicist Lyman Spitzer Jr., who first proposed the idea of space telescopes in the 1940s.
It is Spitzer not Splitzer. It is an infrared observatory orbiting the sun.

There are four: Hubble Space Telescope, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the planned successor of the HST and the Spitzer Space Telescope (for observations in infrared). It will have a diameter of 6.5 m (the HST has 2.4 m). As of now, the launch will be in 2017 or 2018.
