NASA Hubble Space Telescope 1:25 Scale UCS -75987 C7823

Om settet

• The Hubble Space Telescope -75987 UCS is a space telescope jointly developed by NASA og ESA og named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble. It works in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum from the infrared range through the visible light to the ultraviolet range. The mirror diameter is 2.4 meters.
• The HST was launched on April 24, 1990 with the space shuttle mission STS-31 og released from Discovery's hold the next day. It was the first of four space telescopes planned by NASA as part of Great Observatory program. The other three space telescopes are Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra X-Ray Observatory, og Spitzer Space Telescope.
• The Hubble Space Telescope was created primarily to circumvent the restrictions imposed by the earth's atmosphere. The molecules in the atmosphere limit the resolving power of telescopes on the earth's surface, og various spectral ranges are blocked.
