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.
