SPRINGER PRAXIS BOOKS PARTNERSHIP IN SPACE - ...

April 12  2011 was the 50th Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's pioneering journey into space. To
commemorate this momentous achievement  Springer-Praxis has produced a mini-series of books
that reveals how humanity's knowledge of flying  working  and living in space has grown in the
last half century. Partners in Space focuses on the early to late 1990s  a time in the
post-Soviet era when relations between East and West steadily - though not without difficulty -
thawed and the foundations of real harmony and genuine co-operation were laid for the first
time with Shuttle-Mir and the International Space Station. This book explores the events which
preceded that new ear  including the political demise of Space Station Freedom and the
consequences of the fall of the Soviet Union on a once-proud human space program. It traces the
history of the Partnership through the often traumatic times of Shuttle-Mir and closes on the
eve of the launch of Zarya  the first component of today's International Space Station.
