Hubble Space Telescope replica

The Hubble Space Telescope has sent amazing photos of space back to Earth.
It was launched in 1990 and is expected to be in service until at least 2030. Though named for Edwin Hubble (a scientist), Nancy Grace Roman is known as the "Mother of Hubble" and discussed it long before it was a NASA project.

From Wikipedia:

Hubble data was initially stored on the spacecraft. When launched, the storage facilities were old-fashioned reel-to-reel tape drives, but these were replaced by solid state data storage facilities during servicing missions 2 and 3A. About twice daily, the Hubble Space Telescope radios data to a satellite in the geosynchronous Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS), which then downlinks the science data to one of two 60-foot (18-meter) diameter high-gain microwave antennas located at the White Sands Test Facility in White Sands, New Mexico.[143] From there they are sent to the Space Telescope Operations Control Center at Goddard Space Flight Center, and finally to the Space Telescope Science Institute for archiving.[143] Each week, HST downlinks approximately 140 gigabits of data.[2]
