    Why do we use satellites when we have the hubble space telescope?

    If the Hubble Space Telescope can see trillions of miles to other galaxies then why do we need a satellite to go past Pluto and such?? Wouldn't we just look everywhere with the Telescope???
    I need to read up on it !!

    Maybe it's located so far away that we send other satellites to look in our solar system??


    Thanks for the link, I'll be educating myself !!

    I don't know how many satellites are up there, but there's a bunch. Some of them are redundant, some are very individual and specific as to who can use them. (CIA, MI6, KGB). The Hubble is a satellite that is a telescope and really only points to deep outer space. What if you want to see a storm from space, Hubble would be trained on Uranus and you'd be outta luck.
    Lots of them do lots of different things.
