Lots of fantastic images and diagrams but the text - which can be as dry as an old textbook in places - is full of minutia that is probably only of interest to engineers and hardcore telescope enthusiasts. Regardless, the development of the HST and the servicing missions make for a fascinating story.

Excellent reference on HST with detailed schematics, photos, and history.
