The NASA Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA. Called as the successor to the famous Hubble telescope the James Webb Space Telescope aboard an Ariane 5 Rocket has made the two.
Hubble is expected to continue to provide valuable data into the 2020s securing its place in history as an outstanding general purpose observatory in areas ranging from our solar system to the distant universe.
Expanding the frontiers of the visible Universe the Hubble Space Telescope looks deep into space with cameras that can see across the entire optical spectrum from infrared to. In the history of space exploration a handful of missions have set new records for ruggedness and longevity. The mirror spans more than 21 feet 65 meters yet is lighter than Hubbles which is 8 feet 24 meters across.
