I-telescope yeHubble ibhiyozela usuku lokuzalwa olubalulekileyo kule nyanga, kodwa, kunokuba ibhiyozele yodwa, i-NASA kunye ne-European Space Agency (i-ESA) benza lo mbhiyozo malunga nawe.
Ngo-Epreli 24, 1990, i-NASA yasungula i-Hubble Space Telescope kwi-orbit, apho ibhale khona eyona mifanekiso mihle kakhulu yeeplanethi kunye neenkwenkwezi ezisingqongileyo, zisikhuthaza sonke ukuba siphuphe kancinci.
Iimbonakalo zikaHubble ezibonakala ngathi azipheli, ziyachukumisa kwaye zinika ishunqulelo esibonakalayo sempumelelo yesayensi, i-NASA kunye ne-ESA icacisiwe iposti yebhlog malunga nomhla wokuzalwa kweteleskopu. Ngokungafaniyo nayiphi na enye iteleskopu engaphambi kwayo, uHubble wenze i-astronomy efanelekileyo, ebandakanyekayo, kwaye ifikeleleke kubantu bayo yonke iminyaka. I-mission iye yavelisa ukujonga okuyi-1.4 yezigidi kunye nokubonelela ngeenkcukacha ukuba izazi zeenkwenkwezi emhlabeni jikelele ziye zasebenzisa ukubhala iincwadi ezingaphezu kwe-17,000 ezihlaziyiweyo zontanga, ezenza enye yezona ndawo zibalaseleyo zokujonga indawo kwimbali. Ugcino lwayo lwedatha ecebileyo lulodwa luya kuphembelela uphando lweenkwenkwezi lwexesha elizayo kwizizukulwana ezizayo.
