Where is Hubble?
Launched on April 24, 1990,
aboard the Space Shuttle
Discovery, Hubble is currently
located about 332 miles (535
km) above Earth's surface,
where it completes 15 orbits
per day — approximately one
every 95 minutes.

SOLAR PANELS
Named after the famous American
astronomer Edwin Hubble, the Hubble
telescope is powered by six nickel-
hydrogen batteries, which provide
power to the spacecraft during orbit
while it flies through the Earth’s shadow.
The scientific instrumentation and
onboard computers draw approximately
2800 watts, which are charged by two
2.45 x 7.56m solar panels.
COMMUNICATIONS
ANTENNAS
On-board the Hubble telescope are two
identical S-Band transmitters. In 1998
one of the transmitters failed, however
the secondary transmitter has kept up
with the extra load by rotating the
telescope to maintain communication.
The radio waves converted from the
solid-state recording system are sent to
a NASA communication satellite, which
in-turn relays the information to Earth.

Conclusion:
The Hubble Space Telescope stands as an iconic testament
to humanity's quest for knowledge and exploration. Over
the years, its exceptional capabilities have allowed
astronomers to make groundbreaking discoveries, unravel
cosmic mysteries, and inspire wonder about the vastness
and beauty of the universe. As we continue to push the
boundaries of space exploration, Hubble's legacy will
endure, serving as a guiding light for future generations of
astronomers and space enthusiasts, igniting the curiosity
that drives us to explore the great unknown. Let us
celebrate the remarkable achievements of Hubble, and with
anticipation, embrace the possibilities that lie ahead as we
reach for the stars.
