The authors, leading representatives of Russian space research and industry, show the results and future prospects of astronautics at the start of the third millennium. The focus is on the development of astronautics in Russia in the new historical and economic conditions. The text spotlights the basic trends in space related issues before moving on to describe the possibilities of the wide use of space technologies and its numerous applications such as navigation and communication, space manufacturing, and space biotechnology. The book contains a large amount of facts described in a way understandable without specialist knowledge. The text is accompanied by many photographs, charts and diagrams, mostly in color.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"... Ein Muss für jeden Fachmann, der auch die russische Sicht auf die Materie kennen will." Flug Revue 7/2004 "... Die drei Autoren sind anerkannte Fachleute der Raumfahrtgeschichte und legen hier eine Monographie zum Thema vor, die deren Weg zwischen Wissenschaft und angewandter industrieller Forschung nachzeichnet ... Hier werden Geschichte, Gegenwart und potentielle Zukunft dargestellt und diskutiert. Wird eine Faktenfülle dargeboten, die ihresgleichen sucht, werden aktuelle und künftig wichtiger werdende Anwendungen aufgezeigt. Das Ganze zwar auf hohem Niveau aber doch nicht so ‚abgehoben‘, dass nicht auch der interessierte Laie Information und Anregung finden könnte. Eine echte Bereicherung." NRZ am Sonntag 10/2003 "... Das auf Englisch vorliegende Buch ist die derzeit daten- und faktenreichste Raumfahrt-Monografie aus russischer Sicht." Oberösterreichische Nachrichten 9/2003
