Journal Reviews,
By The Aerospace Press (El Segundo, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: International Launch Site Guide, Second Edition (Aerospace Press Series) (Paperback)
"Those who make the mistake of thinking the US is the only country with a space program should take a long look here at who has what and how much firepower. Enthusiast Strom has updated this guide and the descriptions, which include overviews of the nation's space program and the site, maps, a launch site description, payload accommodations and support facilities, acronyms, references, and points of contact. Strom includes histories of the launch sites and descriptions of launches. The photographs are quite impressive, given the remote and concealed nature of some of these sites."
