About the Hubble Space
Telescope
by NASA and STScI (adapted excerpt)
Orbiting 360 miles above Earth, the Hubble
Space Telescope is positioned high above the
blurring effects of the atmosphere. From this
vantage point, it captures images with 10
times the typical clarity of any ground-based
telescope and views not only visible light but
also wavelengths of near-infrared and
ultraviolet light that cannot reach Earth's
surface. To operate from orbit, the
observatory works like any other scientific or
imaging spacecraft; it converts the optical
data it collects into electrical signals that are
transmitted back to Earth. It must also
withstand the airless, high-radiation, and
harsh thermal environment of space.
OA. The Hubble observatory is designed to study planets from the
perspective of space.
B. The Hubble observatory requires astronauts to regularly repair it due to
its failing parts.
Oc. The Hubble observatory lacks the latest technological advancements of
the last decade.
D. The Hubble observatory is designed to function and be maintained
while in orbit.
