Description:
|
"This book, therefore, focuses upon the latest developments covering September 2006 through December 2012, a period of six years in which the main space station assembly was completed, yet another lease of life was given to Soyuz after over 40 years of operational service, and a significant new step in the development of Chinese permanent presence in space. In this time period there were over 40 new space flights."
