Hubble Space Telescope - Hubble Telescope,

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was launched into orbit around Earth on 25 April 1990. HST is an observatory first originally conceived in the 1940s and finally operational in the 1990s. The observatory was designed to have a long life span of 15 years. The HST is a co-operative programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The aim of the observatory is to operate a long-lived space-based observatory for the benefit of the international astronomical community.

Building a Telescope Made of Moondust

A gigantic telescope on the Moon has been a dream of astronomers since the dawn of the space age. A lunar telescope the same size as Hubble (2.4 meters across) would be a major astronomical research tool. One as big as the largest telescope on Earth — 10.4 meters across — would see far more than any Earth-based telescope because the Moon has no atmosphere. But why stop there? In the Moon's weak gravity, it might be possible to build a telescope with a mirror as large as 50 meters across, half the length of a football field—big enough to analyze the chemistry on planets around other stars for signs of life.

Hubble Enters 100,000th Orbit

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope completed its 100,000th orbit of Earth on the morning of August 11. In commemoration of this event in its 18th year of exploration and discovery, scientists at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., aimed Hubble at a dazzling region of celestial birth and renewal. Hubble peered into a small portion of this nebula near the star cluster NGC 2074.

NASA Sets Briefings For Hubble Space Telescope Shuttle Mission

HOUSTON -- NASA will hold a series of news media briefings Sept. 8 - 9 to preview the space shuttle's fifth and final servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA Television and the agency's Web site will provide live coverage of the briefings from the Johnson Space Center and the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Questions also will be taken from other participating NASA locations.

Two space shuttle missions have been postponed including the final repair to the Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA Celebrates Hubble Space Telescope's 100,000th Orbit

It's hard to believe that NASA first launched the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990, making 2008 its 18th year of service. During all its years of service, it has seen numerous shuttle missions to fix and upgrade its systems. According to NASA, Hubble orbits the earth every 97 minutes at about 360 miles above the surface of the earth.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) hit the 100,000-orbit mark today, nearly two decades after it launched into space.

Hubble celebrates 100,000

in April of 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has been without equals for bringing the wonders of the cosmos into the homes of people around the world. Yesterday, August 11th, 2008 the Hubble Telescope surpassed a lofty milestone; it completed its 100,000th orbit of the Earth. To celebrate this milestone, Hubble sent back a spectacular image of a small, active portion of the Tarantula nebula.

Hubble space telescope's odometer to turn over 100,000 orbits on August 11

Launched on April 24, 1990, Hubble zooms along at nearly five miles per second to remain in orbit. So, Hubble's actual odometer mileage is approximately 2.72 billion miles, the equivalent of 5,700 round trips to the Moon.

Launch Pad Repairs to Begin; Hubble Repair Mission Should Go As Scheduled

Work will begin on Friday to repair damaged sections of Kennedy Space Center’s launch pad 39A that was damaged during the last space shuttle launch on May 31. On Thursday, (June 26) NASA managers approved a plan that would complete the repairs by the third week of August. Therefore the mission schedule shouldn’t be impacted. The next space shuttle flight, the high-profile final mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope is scheduled to launch on October 8, and if all goes well with the repairs, space shuttle Atlantis would crawl its way out to the pad on August 29. "We really like the plan," said shuttle Program Manager John Shannon. "We expect to start moving out on it right away."

NASA Sets Launch Dates For Remaining Space Shuttle Missions

HOUSTON, July 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following a detailed, integrated assessment, NASA selected target launch dates for the remaining eight space shuttle missions on the current manifest in 2009 and 2010. The manifest includes one flight to the Hubble Space Telescope, seven assembly flights to the International Space Station, and two station contingency flights, planned to be completed before the end of fiscal year 2010. The agency previously selected Oct. 8 and Nov. 10 as launch dates for Atlantis' STS-125 mission to service Hubble and Endeavour's STS-126 / ULF-2 mission to supply the space station and service both Solar Alpha Rotary Joints on the port and starboard end of its truss backbone that supports equipment and solar arrays. The approved target dates are subject to change based on processing and other launch vehicle schedul
