The first of four test flights occurred in 1981, which were followed by operational flights beginning in 1982. The system is scheduled to be retired from service in 2010 after 134 launches.
Telescopes Universe
The telescope is an instrument designed for the observation of remote objects by the collection of electromagnetic radiation. The first known practically functioning telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century. "Telescopes" can refer to a whole range of instruments operating in most regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.The Celestron telescope was founded in the early 1960s by Tom Johnson. Celestron made its name with the first commercial produced Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope introducing its "C8" 8-telescope designed by Johnson.
The Universe comprises everything we perceive to exist physically, the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter and energy. However, the term Universe may be used in slightly different contextual senses, denoting such concepts as the cosmos, the world, or Nature.
