The HST has a capability of operating at any wavelength from a near infrared level to a visible range to an ultraviolet level. Because of this capability, scientists can view toward the outmost reach of the universe. The HST has a 2.4 meter objective mirror and is able to observe different types of wavelengths. Once it locates an image from any wavelength, the HST records the images it receives and then sends the images back to earth by means of radio waves in digital form.

The construction of the HST began in 1981 with the assembly of its' precision ground mirror. By the end of 1985, the entire spacecraft

With the hubble space telescope in earths orbit, more discoveries are found every day. With its unsurpassed power and its capabilities the HST will continue to provide images and new understandings to what lies in the universe.

In December 1999, another problem arose with the much needed replacement of gyroscopes and electronics to push the HST to its full capabilities. After its replacement, the HST was back producing stunning images of the universe.

was complete with the scientific instruments, optical components, and remaining hardware intact and prepared for launch. Although scheduled for launch in 1986, the project was later postponed due to the space shuttle Challenger disaster. During this period, HST was subjected to intense tests and observation in order to prepare its duty in space. The HST was finally launched aboard the STS-31 mission of the sp
