The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is typically
thought of in national terms - as an American initiative developed
specifically to compete with the Soviet Union. Yet, from its
inception, NASA was mandated not only to sustain US leadership in
space, but also to pursue international collaboration. Since that
time, it has participated in over four thousand international
projects. Drawing on unprecedented access to agency archives and
personnel, this definitive study explores US-Soviet cooperation
during the darkest days of the Cold War, relations with Western
Europe, India, and Japan, the development of the International
Space Station, and many other aspects of scientific and
technological collaboration, making it a signal contribution to
space studies and international diplomatic history.
