Picking up where Tragedy and Triumph in Orbit: The Eighties and Early Nineties left off, the story commemorating the evolution of manned space exploration unfolds here in yet more detail. More than fifty years after Yuri Gagarin?s pioneering journey into space, Evans extends his comprehensive overview of how that momentous journey continued through the decades that followed.   Partnership in Space, the fifth book in the series, explores the final years in which the United States and the Soviet Union ? which became the Commonwealth of Independent States in 1992 ? pursued human space endeavors independently of each other.   The narrative follows the path taken by two old foes towards an unlikely and often controversial partnership. As the Shuttle program recovered from the loss of Challenger and pursued ever loftier goals, including the ambitious repair of the Hubble Space Telescope, Mir suffered from economic collapse and political neglect. Yet both Mir and the Shuttle formed a fertile ground upon which the seeds of what would become today's International Space Station were sown.   Both nations acutely needed the support of the other to achieve their goals. As political relations thawed between the two superpowers, a new relationship was forged. This cooperation saw Russians flying aboard the Shuttle and Americans flying aboard Mir and became a partnership that endures to this day. . 410 0$aSpace Exploration 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 14$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 676 $a629.4509049 700 $aEvans$b Ben$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791294 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300393203321 996 $aPartnership in Space$91768652 997 $aUNINA
