As well as the background story of the ISS and the many scientific discoveries that were made, it focuses on the ups and downs on the route to success, and the people involved: the scientists, engineers, agency representatives, and especially, the experimenters in space - the cosmonauts.Complex plasma research is the other focal point of the book, and this field of science is at the forefron 606 $aPlasma (Ionized gases) 606 $aSpace sciences 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPlasma (Ionized gases) 615 0$aSpace sciences. 676 $a612 700 $aMorfill$b Gregor$0892186 701 $aBaturin$b Yuri$0892187 701 $aFortov$b Vladimir$0892188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452558803321 996 $aPlasma research at the limit$91992360 997 $aUNINA
