The correct option is D 5
  • Hubble is a space telescope that was launched in 1990 by NASA in collaboration with European Space Agency. It is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble and is still in operation.
  • It is located in low Earth orbit outside the distortion of Earth’s atmosphere that allows it to take extremely high-resolution images.
  • With the completion of the last servicing mission in 2009, Hubble remains in good health and is pegged to continue operations well past the year 2020.
