Hubble Space Telescope Design and Construction

The primary mirror of the Hubble Space Telescope was made of beryllium, a lightweight and stiff material that is also very stable at cryogenic temperatures.

The Hubble Space Telescope's primary mirror had a diameter of 2.4 meters, which was larger than any previous space telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope's primary mirror had a focal length of 52.4 meters, which was much longer than any previous space telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope weighed 11,110 kilograms at launch, which was significantly heavier than any previous space telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope was 13.2 meters long at launch, which was longer than any previous space telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope was 4.2 meters in diameter at its widest point, which was wider than any previous space telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope had two solar panels, which were each 2.6 meters wide and 7.6 meters long.

The Hubble Space Telescope's solar panels had a power output of 2.5 kilowatts, which was enough to power the telescope's instruments and systems.

The Hubble Space Telescope had six nickel-hydrogen batteries, which were used to store power for the telescope's instruments and systems.

The Hubble Space Telescope's batteries had a capacity of 60 ampere-hours, which was enough to power the telescope's instruments and systems for up to 6 hours.

The Hubble Space Telescope had a pointing accuracy of 0.007 arcseconds, which was much better than any previous space telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope had a resolution of 0.1 arcseconds, which was much better than any previous space telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope's instruments had a sensitivity of 10^-20 watts per square meter, which was much better than any previous space telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope's instruments had a wavelength range of 0.1 to 1000 micrometers, which covered the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum.

The Hubble Space Telescope cost $2.5 billion to design, build, and launch.
