Picking up where Partnership in Space left off, the story commemorating the evolution of manned space exploration unfolds in further detail. More than fifty years after Yuri Gagarin’s pioneering journey into space, Evans extends his overview of how that momentous voyage continued through the decades which followed. The Twenty-first Century in Space, the sixth book in the series, explores how the fledgling partnership between the United States and Russia in the 1990s gradually bore fruit and laid the groundwork for today’s International Space Station. The narrative follows the convergence of the Shuttle and Mir programs, together with standalone missions, including servicing the Hubble Space Telescope, many of whose technical and human lessons enabled the first efforts to build the ISS in orbit. The book also looks to the future of developments in the 21st century.Space ExplorationAerospace engineeringAstronauticsAstronomySpace sciencesAerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Popular Science in Astronomyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Outer spaceExploration21st centuryAerospace engineering.Astronautics.Astronomy.Space sciences.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Popular Science in Astronomy.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).629.4629.41Evans Benauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut791294BOOK9910300431203321Twenty-first Century in Space1773134UNINA
