Books, Manuscripts
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which celebrates 25 years of successful operation in April 2015, is an international venture primarily between the USA and Europe. More than any other space project, Hubble has encouraged an expanding interest in popular astronomy. This manual, illustrated with a wealth of technical illustrations and imagery taken from Hubble itself, takes an in-depth look at the origins of the HST, its design, development, manufacture and assembly, how it operates, and what it has accomplished, as well as the unique 'man-tended' design philosophy for launch and servicing using the Shuttle.
