Hubble Space Telescope
Hubble observes the universe from Earth orbit. You can explore its motion on the map like that of any other object in the open orbital catalog.
A telescope in low Earth orbit
The space telescope operates above most of the atmosphere that blurs images from ground-based telescopes. It circles Earth instead of remaining fixed above one location.
Search the map for Hubble or NORAD catalog number 20580. If it is absent from the current active catalog, this information page remains available and the map reports that the record is unavailable.
Understanding the numbers
Altitude, period and orbital parameters are calculated from the latest available elements and can change over time. The orbital line models motion at the selected time; it is neither a direct observation nor a schedule of future science targets.
