The Story of Manned Space Stations: An Introduction by Philip BakerEnglish | PDF(True) | 2007 | 183 Pages | ISBN : 0387307753 | 27.5 MB
Philip Baker charts the history of manned space stations from the very beginning in a logical, chronological order. He tells the story of the two major space powers starting out on their very separate programs, but slowly coming together through ASTP, Shuttle-Mir, and the ISS, and includes programs that rarely get mentioned - the US Manned Orbiting Laboratory, and the Soviet Almaz station, both military backed projects.
