Each volume will focus not only upon the individual missions within ?its? decade, but also upon the key challenges facing human space exploration at specific points within those 50 years: from the simple problems of breathing and eating in space to the challenges of venturing outside in a pressurised spacesuit and locomotion on the Moon. The first volume of this series will focus upon the 1960s, exploring each mission from April 1961 to April 1971 in depth: from the pioneering Vostok flights to the establishment of the first Salyut space station and from Alan Shepard?s modest sub-orbital ?hop? into space to his triumphant arrival at the Moon?s Fra Mauro foothills almost a decade later. 410 0$aSpace Exploration 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 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 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 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$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 14$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 676 $a629.4097309046 700 $aEvans$b Ben$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791294 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781178503321 996 $aEscaping the Bonds of Earth$93853643 997 $aUNINA
