caption_attribution_description: English: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) begins its separation from Space Shuttle Discovery following its release on mission STS-82. Svenska: Hubble i februari 1997, fotograferad av besättningen ombord på rymdfärjan Discovery. മലയാളം: ദൗത്യം എസ്.റ്റി.എസ്.-82-നു ശേഷം ഹബിൾ ബഹിരാകാശ ദൂരദർശിനി സ്പേസ് ഷട്ടിൽ ഡിസ്കവറിയിൽ നിന്ന് വിട്ട് മാറാൻ തുടങ്ങുന്നു. Español: El telescopio espacial Hubble comienza su separación del w:Transbordador espacial Discivery después de su lanzamiento en la misión STS-82.
context_page_description: This list of space telescopes is grouped by major frequency ranges: gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave and radio. Telescopes that work in multiple frequency bands are included in all of the appropriate sections. Space telescopes that collect particles, such as cosmic ray nuclei and/or electrons, as well as instruments that aim to detect gravitational waves, are also listed. Missions with specific targets within the Solar System, are excluded; see List of Solar System probes for these, and List of Earth observation satellites for missions targeting our planet.
  Two values are provided for the dimensions of the initial orbit. For telescopes in Earth orbit, the min and max altitude are given in kilometers. For telescopes in solar orbit, the minimum distance and the maximum distance between the telescope and the center of mass of the sun are given in astronomical units.

  Two values are provided for the dimensions of the initial orbit. For telescopes in Earth orbit, the min and max altitude are given in kilometers. For telescopes in solar orbit, the minimum distance (periapsis) and the maximum distance (apoapsis) between the telescope and the center of mass of the sun are given in astronomical units (AU).
