This volume addresses the creation, documentation, preservation,
and study of the archaeology of lunar, planetary, and interstellar
exploration. It defines the attributes of common human
technological expressions within national and, increasingly,
private exploration efforts, and explore the archaeology of both
fixed and mobile artifacts in the solar system and the wider
galaxy. This book presents the research of the foremost scholars in
the field of space archaeology and heritage, a recent discipline of
the field of Space Archaeology and Heritage. It provides the
emerging archaeological perspective on the history of the human
exploration of space. Since humans have been creating a vast
archaeological preserve in space and on other celestial
bodies. This assemblage of heritage objects and sites attest
to the human presence off the Earth and the study of these material
remains are best investigated by archaeologists and historic
preservationists. As space exploration has reached the half
century mark, it is the appropriate time to reflect on the major
events and technological development of this particular unique 20th
century arena of human history. The authors encapsulate various
ways of looking at the archaeology of both fixed and mobile human
artifacts in the solar system. As missions continue into
space, and as private ventures gear up for public and tourist
visits to space and to the Moon and even Mars, it is the
appropriate time to address questions about the meaning and
significance of this material culture.
