茫茫宇宙,何处是它的尽头?悠悠岁月,它的起点又在何处?新近由美国宇航员在太空更换11个部件修复后,送入距地球612公里轨道的“哈勃”太空望远镜,则给人类了解宇宙提供了最新手段。这一奇迹是美国和欧洲13国组成的“欧洲宇航局”耗资15亿美元共同创造的。它用美国著名天文学家埃德温·哈勃的名字命名,以纪念哈勃为研究宇宙年龄所做出的杰出贡献。该望远镜由美国的洛克希德导弹和宇航公司负责整个系统的全部装配工程,并在高德太空飞行中心内附设的控制室进行有关操作。“哈勃”太空望远镜于1990年4月24日由“发现”号航天飞机送上太空,科学家们为它设计的寿命为15年,宇航员将定期到太空对它进行维修、更换部件等,其全部投资预计高达50亿美元。
The vast universe, where is its end? Long years, its starting point and where? Recently by the US astronauts in the space to replace 11 parts repair, into 612 kilometers from Earth orbit “Hubble” space Telescopes provide the latest means for humans to understand the universe. This miracle was co-created by the U.S. and Europe’s 13 nations at a cost of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. It was named after Edwin Hubble, a famous American astronomer, in honor of Hubble’s outstanding contribution to studying the age of the universe. The telescope by the United States of Lockheed missiles and aerospace companies responsible for the entire system of the entire assembly project, and high German space flight control center attached to the control room for the operation. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into space on April 24, 1990 by Space Shuttle Discovery. Scientists designed it for a life of 15 years and astronauts routinely went to space to repair it. Replacement parts, etc., all of its investment is expected to reach 50 billion US dollars.
