Yet it is only the latest in a long line of space stations and laboratories that have flown in orbit since the early 1970s. The histories of these earlier programs have been all but forgotten as the public focused on other, higher- profile adventures such as the Apollo moon landings. A vast trove of stories filled with excitement, danger, humor, sadness, failure, and success, Outposts on the Frontier reveals how the Soviets and the Americans combined strengths to build space stations over the past fifty years. At the heart of these scientific advances are people of both greatness and modesty. Jay Chladek documents the historical tapestry of the people, the early attempts at space station programs, and how astronauts and engineers have contributed to and shaped the ISS in surprising ways. He delves into the intriguing stories behind the USAF Manned Orbiting Laboratory, the Almaz and Salyut programs, Skylab, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, Spacelab, Mir station, Spacehab, and the ISS, and gives past-due attention to Vladimir Chelomei, the Russian designer whose influence in space station development is as significant as Sergei Korolev's in rocketry. This is an informative and dynamic history of humankind's first outposts on the frontier of space. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 22, 2017). 610 20 International Space Station|xHistory. 610 27 International Space Station.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00718638 650 0 Space stations|xInternational cooperation. 650 7 TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING|xEngineering (General)|2bisacsh 650 7 Space stations|xInternational cooperation.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01127918 651 0 Outer space|xExploration|xGovernment policy|zUnited States. 651 7 Outer space.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01243437 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Electronic books.|2lcgft 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Anderson, Clayton C.,|d1959-|eauthor of foreword. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aChladek, Jay.|tOutposts on the frontier. |dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, [2017] |z9780803222922|w(OCoLC)962232112 830 0 Book collections on Project MUSE. 914 ocn990337324 994 92|bCKE
