From an interview with astronaut Leroy Chiao by AmyBeth Inverness: OneOrbit is a photo book about my adventures in space, with impressions, thoughts, and notes on my life and ideas. It will be published first in Czech (my friend who is doing the project is Czech), then in Chinese, then in English. From Leroy Chiao on Twitter on Aug. 18: First printing, in Czech! Mandarin and English versions to follow soon!  From Leroy Chiao on Twitter on Sept. 1: I just announced my book in Beijing!  |

From Leroy Chiao on Twitter: OneOrbit Author's limited edition is now available! From the website: Leroy Chiao was fascinated by the space program as a young boy, and he dreamed of one day looking back at our Earth from space. This book includes photographs from all four of his spaceflights, most of them taken by Dr. Chiao himself. While many of the pictures are breathtaking scenes of the Earth from orbit, working shots of operations both inside and outside of spacecraft are also featured. For each photograph, Leroy describes his impressions and what thoughts they evoked. Available now for $100. Dr. Chiao will personalize and sign copies from this set of his Author's Limited Edition.

Received my copy of Dr. Chiao's limited addition book. It was signed at the front and with best of luck at the back and dated. It is a wonderful collection of photos in a coffee table style book. Always great to see the amazing Earth photos, but for me the crew pics are unusual and probably many not seen before. I also like the comparison between shuttle and Soyuz launches and on orbit images. Great addition to my collection. |
