허블 우주 망원경 (HST)은 1978 년부터 1988 년까지 약 10 년 동안 NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)와 유럽 우주국 (ESA)이 이끄는 국제 협력에 의해 건설되었습니다. The primary mirror is 2.4 m (7.9 ft) in diameter and made of glass. The HST was launched on April 24, 1990, by the Space Shuttle Discovery during mission STS-31.
What materials were used to make the Hubble Telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope is made of a variety of materials, including:
* Aluminum: The primary structure of the HST is made of aluminum, which is a lightweight and strong metal.
* Glass: The primary mirror of the HST is made of glass. The glass is specially coated with a reflective layer of aluminum.
* Carbon fiber: The secondary mirror of the HST is made of carbon fiber, which is a strong and lightweight material.
* Steel: Some of the smaller components of the HST, such as the nuts and bolts, are made of steel.
* Polymers: 열 단열 및 케이블 단열과 같은 HST의 일부 성분은 반복 분자의 긴 사슬 인 중합체로 만들어집니다.
The HST is a complex machine that required a variety of materials to be built. The materials were chosen for their strength, weight, and durability.
