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. 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 607 $aOuter space$xExploration$y21st century 615 0$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 $a629.4 676 $a629.41 700 $aEvans$b Ben$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791294 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300431203321 996 $aTwenty-first Century in Space$91773134 997 $aUNINA
