In the Footsteps of Columbus: European Missions to the International Space Station by John O'Sullivan The European Space Agency has a long history of cooperating with NASA in human spaceflight, having developed the Spacelab module for carrying in the payload bay of the Space Shuttle. This book tells of the development of ESA's Columbus microgravity science laboratory of the International Space Station and the European astronauts who work in it. From the beginning, ESA has been in close collaboration on the ISS, making a significant contribution to the station hardware. Special focus is given to Columbus and Copula as well as station resupply using the ATV. Each mission is also examined individually, creating a comprehensive picture of ESA's crucial involvement over the years. Extensive use of color photographs from NASA and ESA to depict the experiments carried out, the phases of the ISS construction, and the personal stories of the astronauts in space highlights the crucial European work on human spaceflight. - Paperback: 400 pages

I'm delighted to report that this has been submitted for layout this morning! Thanks to Clive at Praxis, Maury and Nora at Springer, Jim for the cover and David for the fantastic editing and advice.Writing a book has been a great experience and it all started here on collectSPACE! Colin Burgess asked for new topics for Outward Odyssey series. I suggested (amongst others) European missions to ISS. As that wasn't a viable option for OO, David Shayler suggested talking to Clive at Praxis and the rest, as they say, is history! |
