One reason they are useful is because they can send locations of things on the atmosphere. They can send these to  Earth so people on Earth can learn where different objects in space are and what is happening in space. They can also collect samples on space. For example, rocks in the atmosphere and dust samples.

They collect data and samples in space. Humans can control the speed they are going to get them into a space object's atmosphere. The space object has gravity which holds the orbiter in orbit around it. ]]> 2017-01-04 14:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lovelem/fi978jfi2rrv/wish/145254916 Telescopes louisra https://padlet.com/lovelem/fi978jfi2rrv/wish/145257791 The Hubble space telescope's  launch in 1990.
It is a telescope that orbits earth, above the atmosphere. 
It's used to give a view of the universe that ground-based telescopes can't get. 
Hubble's first mission showed that the fuzzy patches of light in the night sky were actually other galaxies, far away, and proved that the universe was expanding. 
The Hubble telescope  mission now will continue to send images of the universe back to earth.

The Lander's beams are made out of carbon-based layers of graphite fiber woven into a fabric. A Lander will most of the time hold a Rover inside.
