Space observations since 1990

Developed jointly by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScl), the Hubble Space Telescope has been making space observations in Earth orbit since 1990 when it was launched into space.

In place of the Hubble Telescope, which is now expected to be retired, the next generation of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will be launched.
