For over thirty years, the Hubble Space Telescope has been at the forefront of astronomical research, making remarkable discoveries that have contributed significantly to our knowledge of the universe. This groundbreaking project is a collaborative effort between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is responsible for managing the telescope and its mission operations. However, this center does not operate alone; Lockheed Martin Space, a company based in Denver, Colorado, supports the mission operations at Goddard.
The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, plays a key role in conducting the science operations for Hubble on behalf of NASA. This partnership allows the Hubble Space Telescope to continue its mission of exploring the wonders of the cosmos and expanding our understanding of the universe.
