Description:
|
Now, for the first time, here is a comprehensive and highly readable account of the creation of the International Space Station. Beginning with a review of the operations that led up to the construction of the ISS -Skylab, Salyut, Mir and the Shuttle- the authors then describe the collaboration between the great space nations that led to the design and building of the ISS. A flight-by-flight description of its orbital assembly conveys the magnetude of the task. Finally, there is a look ahead to the future of the ISS and the possibility of a dream coming true - colonies in space.
