Photos are taken digitally on-board Hubble, stored on an internal computer and then downloaded to earth based computers over a wireless data link. Slower but similar in some ways to WiFi data used by laptops, or data transmissions used by digital cell phones.

What instruments are used to send pictures from outer space to earth?
Pictures are sent to earth from outer space through the Hubble Telescope and cameras on satellites. The satellites then send the images to NASA computers.
How often does Hubble send photos back to earth?
The HST sends 120 gigabytes of science data every week. This includes photos. Such data downloads are made every day.
How does the hubble space telescope benefit us?
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) gives us a much clearer view of the universe as it looked just after the Big Bang than any earth based telescope can. The HST orbits above the earth's atmosphere, which scatters light and blurrs details. With it, astronomers can see stars forming, which shows us how our own Solar System formed. While many people may not care about such things, it is important to know because one day the earth will be too small for it's human inhabitants. in order for us to survive as a specie, we will have to find another place to live. The universe is filled with inhabitable planets such as the earth. While it may seem far fetched to send humans out of the Solar System to a new home on another planet, it wasn't that long ago when space travel itself seemed impossible. As we develop new propulsion systems and a means to grow food and recycle water in space, long distance space travel will become as routine as a trip to the International Space Station is today.
How many US missions to other solar system objects have there been?
None. There are telescopes that can see other solar systems, like the Hubble telescope. However, the furthest missions have only been to the outer planets. The two voyager spacecraft, sent to Jupiter in 1977, have kept on travelling and are now the furthest objects from earth. To send something to another solar system is practically impossible, given the great distances. At the speeds we can travel, even to get to the edge of our own solar system would take thousands of years. The best we can do in terms of other solar systems is observe them from here or from the telescopes like Hubble.
What sound did the sputnik send to earth?
Rrr
How is the hubble telescope getting fixed?
when there are problems with the hubble space telescope, astronomers send astronauts to go fix the problem.
What instruments are used to send pictures from outer space to earth?
Pictures are sent to earth from outer space through the Hubble Telescope and cameras on satellites. The satellites then send the images to NASA computers.
How do they repair the hubble telescope?
If they need to repair a telescope in space, they send up a manned space shuttle to manually repair it.
How often does Hubble send photos back to earth?
The HST sends 120 gigabytes of science data every week. This includes photos. Such data downloads are made every day.
How are telescopes used in the world?
they can look beyond our planet and into our solar system some like the hubble telescope can take pictures of universes and send pics back to earth pics= pictures
Explain hubble's function?
To send pictures from space to earth for astronomers and scientists
Can other people use the Hubble Space Telescope?
no. The Can_anyone_use_the_hubble_telescopeTelescope is controlled by a skilled team of experts. The astronomers who plan the observations send their requests to the control team.Read more: Can_anyone_use_the_hubble_telescope
Did the mars rover ever send rocks to earth?
The Rover does not have that technology. It is their to take photos and send back results of tests.
How hubble space telescope's component cameras assist in the search of black holes?
The Hubble telescope uses a computer system and lenses while orbiting our earth. The computer system transmits data from the lenses and send it back to the computers on earth, we look at the data and interpret it, and from the pictures you get from space we are able to look at the frame time of later movements of fragments, objects and rocks in space. From the pictures that were taken day by day, the scientists see a dark area on the picture, and in that area the objects move around the dark spot, and puzzling as it may be, they finally came to a conclusion that this was the black hole that was mathematically theorized.
How can astronomers see the far side of the moon?
The moon always keeps the same "side" facing Earth, which also means that the other half of its surface is always facing away from Earth. The only ways to see that side are: -- Send a robotic spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have it photograph the back side when it's there, and then send those photos to Earth when it comes back around to our side. -- Send people in a spacecraft to orbit the moon. Have them photograph the back side when they're there, and then send those photos to Earth when they come back around to our side, or else save them up and bring the photos back to Earth with them.
Is Hubble Space telescope still orbiting Earth?
The Hubble Telescope was carried into orbit in April 1990. It is still in orbiting in space. In 2009 it had its final servicing and will probably last until sometime in 2014. Its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will take its' place.
How do they send Hubble into space?
The HST (Hubble Space Telescope) was sent aloft only once, on board the Space Shuttle Discovery. It was launched April 25, 1990, from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. http://archive.eso.org/~amicol/HST/launch_orbit_new.html Subsequent servicing missions were performed by other shuttle launches.
