...into space and will orbit one million miles out. Even as the Hubble is being repaired and orbits at 400 miles out.

Who launched it? I assume the European Space Agency?

Probably because it WAS them and there are very few countries that would and since we for sure didn't it only leaves a few logical choices with the European Space Agency right after us.

Even though it is actually closer to 350 miles out, that still is not very far out and widely limits its uses. Just think about it, you can drive that distance in a bit over 4 hours. Now look at a map and draw a line from where you started and where you ended. That orbit is a bit close to earth and the crazy thing is that the space station orbits an even more ridiculously close distance of just 220 miles. I can't even reach the closest border of my state in 220 miles.

Got it confused with the Web telescope - my bad.

Also figured it would be an orbiting telescope and not just a short term craft. Hence the distance question.

"Largest ever telescope launched from French Guyana."

Well, we got 10+ meter telescopes on earth, this one is 3.5 meters.. so it's not the largest ever telescope... it's the largest every telescope in space yes..

Looks like it's going to operate in infrared and not the visible wavelengths as hubble
