Hubble Space Telescope

* Length: 43.5 ft (13.2 m) * Weight: 24,500 lb (11,110 kg) * Maximum Diameter: 14 ft (4.2 m)

The Hubble Space Telescope took about a decade to build, from the time its construction was initiated in the 1970s to its launch in 1990. Various delays and setbacks extended the construction timeline.

Engineers at Perkin Elmer Corporation, engineers at NASA came up with the concept of an orbiting telescope, to eliminate the distortion of the earth's atomosphere. NASA originally wanted a much larger mirror, but the technology did not exist at the time. Engineers at Perkin came up with the design and specs for the 110" mirror and the incorporation design. The Astronomer named Hubble- Edwin Hubble- there is a bust of him at the Hayden Planetarium, or was, died in l948 and therfore had nothing to do with the invention of the telescope named in his honor. It was named in his honor, but Having died in l948 If I remember this right he could not have played any role in its design. on the other hand we do have posthumously erected buildings such as the Gateway Arch and the Sears Tower, but there were considerable variations from the original design. Dead men don"t launch patent or royalty infringement suits. The Sears tower is partially a design of Frank Lloyd Wright but his original design was far bolder. Hubble did not invent the scope that bears his name, there is no relation to the Ball Player Carl Hubble, either.

They mirror they used to collect the light with was very slightly the wrong shape so the images were slightly out of focus..

Additional optical equipment was made to correct this. Effectively giving the Hubble 'spectacles'.

Yes, telescopes in space, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, are able to capture extremely clear images of objects in deep space. These telescopes are not affected by the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere, resulting in sharper and more detailed images compared to ground-based telescopes.

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.

It took 20 years to build and launch the hubble telescope, a total of seven years after the proposed launched date in 1983, and even then it was not operational as one of it's main mirrors had been fitted incorectly, and it took another three years for a servicing mission made it fully operational. I have no idea

The Hubble Space Telescope can provide clearer images than telescopes on Earth due to two main reasons: it is above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and block light reaching ground-based telescopes, and its position in space allows it to capture light without the interference of atmospheric effects like light pollution and turbulence. These factors contribute to Hubble's ability to produce high-resolution images of celestial objects with great clarity.

''because the people who made it were high and cose they could''

no.

it was so that NASA were able to explore outside the milky way galaxy. Hubble let NASA take very precise pictures in space.

The Hubble Space Telescope (technically it is not a 'spacecraft') orbits at 559 km (347 miles) above the Earth, at a speed of 7,500 m/s (17,000 mph).

The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, uses a large hyperbolic mirror to take highly detailed astronomical photographs. Hubble's orbit outside Earth's atmosphere allows it to take extremely sharp images without distortion or light pollution.

A telescope typically consists of lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, a tube that houses these optical elements, and possibly a mount to support and control the positioning of the telescope. Additional components may include eyepieces, filters, and a focuser mechanism for adjusting the sharpness of the image.

The Hubble Telescope was sent into space in 1990. It was designed and built for several years before that. As of 2014, it is still in operation.

To join NASA as a scientist, you can start by obtaining a relevant degree in a scientific field such as physics, engineering, or astronomy. Gain research experience through internships or working in a laboratory. Stay updated on the latest advancements in your field and consider pursuing a PhD to enhance your qualifications. Additionally, networking with professionals in the field and attending conferences can help you connect with potential opportunities at NASA.

Some disadvantages of the Hubble Space Telescope include its limited field of view and imaging capabilities, leading to the need for multiple observations to capture wide areas of the sky. Additionally, its orbit restricts its accessibility for repairs and upgrades, and its aging technology limits its sensitivity compared to newer telescopes.

The HST was designed (= invented) and built by companies in the USA.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit on April 24, 1990.

Hubble was funded in the 1970s with a proposed launch in 1983, but technical and budget problems delayed the launch for seven years.

Hubble's orbit is 366 miles (589 kilometers) above Earth

It is outside of the earth's atmosphere, so it can see with much higher resolution, it can "see" the invisible spectrum of radiation, and therefore locate objects that would otherwise be invisible to regular telescopes, and it's got the new and improved Hubble Ultra Deep Field lense, which can literally see the length of the known universe, and spot galaxies that are 14 billion light-years away, revealing 99% of the universe which was hidden from it's predecessors.

The rocket that launched Near on 17 February 1997 was a Boeing Delta II.

When in space and looking out, the observer will see a lot of black. Light will come from stars and galaxies, and will be reflected from planets or other bodies around, but the rest of the "sky" will be black. Light will arrive at the observers position without being scattered by atmosphere. Dust and some gas can appear to glow when looked at through a telescope, but to the naked eye, it's really black out there.

Launched on April 24th 1990 the purpose of the Hubble space telescope is so astronauts and astronomers and even the public can discover new images of our Galaxy and other Galaxy's and other planets

The Hubble Space Telescope was invented to provide high-quality images of celestial objects free from the distortion of Earth's atmosphere. It allows astronomers to study the universe in more detail and helps in advancing our understanding of cosmology, exoplanets, and many other aspects of astronomy.

I don't believe so, considering it would be awfully difficult to reverse a huge hung of metal traveling at insane speeds, and we haven't been to mars or Venus, so that sort of mission would be a suicide.
