How long is the hubble telescope expected to last?
The last service should allow the Hubble to function until 2014, when its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope is due to be launched.However, current space operations have far outlived some of their expectations, so the Hubble could stay in service a lot longer.
What are the dimensions of the Hubble space Telescope?
The Hubble telescope is housed in an artificial satellite that is 13.2 m (43 ft) long, the primary mirror has a diameter of 2.4 m (7.9 ft) and has a collecting area of 4.5 m2 (48 sq ft).
How long did it take to build the Hubble Telescope?
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
How long was the Hubble Telescope in orbit?
HST has been in continuous orbit since it was deployed in 1990.
WHAT are the payload bay doors in space shuttle?
They are two long, narrow doors in the belly of the shuttle that open to allow the crew do move whatever is in the cargo bay out into space. Best example: The fabulous Hubble Space Telescope was unloaded out of the shuttle through the payload bay doors.
How tall is the Hubble space telescope?
43.5 feet long
How did Edwin hubble discover the telescope?
Edwin Hubble didn't invent the Hubble Space Telescope, and he never knew of it. It was named in his honor and memory long after his death.
How long does the hubble space telescope revolves around the sun?
365 Days.
Is the infrared light too long or short?
how is named after the hubble space telescope
Does the Hubble telescope come down?
Not for a long time yet. It stays in space.
How long has the hubble space telescope been in space?
Hubble was launched 24 April 1990, at 8:33:51 EDT and achieved orbit that day. As of 24 February 2014, Hubble has been orbiting 23 years 10 months 1 day.
What did edwin hubble invented?
He invented a system for classifying galaxy morphologies (shapes). The Hubble Space Telescope is named after him, but he did not invent it.
What new telescope is nasa going to launch when the hubble space telescope falls back to earth?
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.

Why do they use the hubble telescope and not just a telescope?
In space there is no atmosphere and therefore, there are no perturbations of long exposures that you need to make when taking pix of very distant objects.
Why did Edwin hubble make a space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was flown into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31, on April 24, 1990. On the subsequent servicing mission, in December, 1993, flaws in the original optics were corrected.
How long will the Hubble space telescope stay up?
The Hubble Space Telescope is still going strong and could stay up until 2018. However there are many uncertainties. A critical part could get hit by a space rock. A gyro etc. could fail. Congress could quit funding it.
