First of all, intelligence agencies around the world already have very high resolution satellite for exactly that.

Regardless, the Hubble was not built to be a satellite to collect visual images as telescopes at Palomar and Wilson were. The Hubble collects incoming light on the premise the various wave lengths of light can be translated into images of far away stars, galaxies, dust clouds and anything else the scientist want to collect data on.

If the Hubble Space Telescope proved that Hubble's constant is actually half as large as it is currently believed to be, what would the implied age of the universe be in comparison to the current accepted value?

The dimension of Hubble constant, $[H_o]-LL^(-1)T^(-1)=T^(-1)$. The dimension of thr reciprocal $[1/H_o]=T$ As of now, different estimates of $H_o$ have a range around 70 km/s/mega parsec. The reciprocal, after unit...

The Hubble telescope captured galaxies in the eastern direction of the universe. Images came back proving that galaxies are made up of different colors. What would explain the reason for the make of colors in galaxies?

Galaxies early on in their lives are actively forming hot, new stars and appear more bluish. Older galaxies are forming fewer new stars and their constituent stars are older on...

What is the resolution of Hubble Space Telescope images?

In other words you can see two fireflies in Sanfransico 4 feet apart from new york separately.

As the moon visits are still controversial to some people, why does NASA not use the Hubble Space Telescope to show images of the landing sites?

This has to do more with the human nature, as it is hard for someone to change their beliefs on something quickly - whether it's the moon landing/moon visits to...

Considering the Hubble Space telescope was launched in 1990, how many megapixel does hubble telescope have? How is it able to keep up with modern technology?

The Hubble telescope collects data in analog form. That is because it is a concave mirror which collects light wave and sends them in a focused form to its receivers....

What is the resolution of the Hubble space telescope? What would the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope be if it were a digital camera? Gigapixels? Terapixels?

Hubble is not like a regular digital camera in that it doesn't take a single image in one shot. The Hubble's CCD cameras can take monochrome images at a resolution...

What are some advantages and disadvantages for using an ultraviolet telescope? Why is at better/easier or harder to use a UV telescope than another telescope like a radio telescope or an infrared telescope?

So we have to send them to earth orbit above our atmosphere which filters radiations.Certain objects emit only radiation in UV range.So to study them we have to use UV...

A space-based telescope can achieve a diffraction-limited angular resolution of 0.14 for red light (wavelength 650 nm). What would the resolution of the instrument be in the ultraviolet, at 150nm ?

I suppose here I am dealing with the Raileigh Criterion that tells us the minimum angular (in radians) separation between two object (emitting light of wavelength $lambda$) to strart to...

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 539 km above the earth's surface, while that for satellite B is at a height of 876 km. How do you find the orbital speed for satellite A and satellite B?

To do this problem, you need the $R = 6371 km$ For the satellite to be in a stable orbit at a height, h, its centripetal acceleration $V^2/(R + h)$...
