Mirror and optical system of the hubble space telescope

Reference no: EM13665321

Research the mirror and optical system of the Hubble Space Telescope. Construct a scale drawing of the optical system, describe how this design differs from the basic Newtonian reflector system, and make several comparisons among the capabilities of this system and the similar reflector systems on the earth.
