VG softcover. Light rubbing and edge wear to wraps with a few small creases and bumps at corners and spine. Faint discoloration and a small sticker shadow to front cover. Binding remains firm and internally clean with crisp pages and no markings noted. An attractive, well-preserved copy overall.
NASA technical publication issued in textured cream wraps with red lettering and insignia throughout. Contains the authors’ summaries of papers presented at the 21st annual meeting of the American Astronautical Society in Denver, Colorado, August 26–28, 1975. Includes diagrams, technical discussions, and early conceptual material related to what would eventually become the Hubble Space Telescope. Printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office.
An especially fascinating snapshot of pre-Hubble space science history, documenting the ambitions, engineering challenges, and scientific expectations surrounding NASA’s proposed Space Telescope years before launch became reality. Publications from this formative era of American space exploration have developed a strong collector following, particularly those tied to unrealized or developmental phases of major programs. A compelling NASA artifact from the transitional period between Apollo and the Shuttle era.
