Hubble
Since the Hubble space telescope was launched in 1990, it's faced ridicule and glory. Having been known as the greatest achievement in astronomy since Galileos. The telescope would face several service trips by astronauts till the last one in 2004.The first service trip would be due to a paint problem on the telescope causing the images it took to appear blurred. The technology the telescope would utilize would be derived of spy technology used by the U.S. And with the use of mirrors to collect the images we get a full spectrum view of all the colors the heavens have to offer. Today celebrates its 25th anniversary of being in space since its launch April 24th 1990.
