"Space development and exploration have been a major global effort over the last
thirty-five years. Bonnet and Manno's book describes the significant role of
Europe in that effort and the technological, economic, and geopolitical factors
involved. This book will make an important contribution to the literature

D. James Baker
A timely, well-illustrated introduction to Earth-observing satellite technology for
the nonspecialist and speciálist alike. It distills complex information that is oth-
erwise available only in the technical literature. For those who follow space
research, it will prove an indispensable guide.
Space Commerce
John L. McLucas
John McLucas, Chairman of NASA's Advisory Council, follows priváté enter-
prise's unsteady rise to prominence as a major influence on world space policy
and research and offers a sober assessment of the technological accomplishments
and the challenges that lie ahead. In addition to examining such topics as space
laboratories, communications services, life science experiments, and product
development, he alsó illuminates the economic and political impact of space
commerce. ISbn o-b74-45fl35-lf
With the end of the Cold War, will the space
race become a cooperative venture? This book,
which telis the story of the European Space
Agency shows how such a cooperative enter-
prise has worked over the pást three decades
and how it might apply to future space science.
Linking fifteen European nations, the European
Space Agency offers a working model of scien-
tific, technological, and political cooperation on
an mternational scale. Roger M. Bonnet and
Vittorio Manno give us an insiders' view of the
agency—its beginnings as the European Space
Research Organization, its development in the
face of early difficulties, and its daily operations.
Covering thirty years, this account traces the
evolution of ES As programs, facilities, and capa-
bilities and the establishment of its scientific,
technological, industrial, and political policies
and objectives. With an eye to future global
space activities, the authors detail ESA's rela-
tionships with its own member states and with
other countries, particularly the United States.
The history of cooperation between ESA and
NASA as exemplified by two specific projects—
Ulysses and the international space station—
highlights the difficulties of associating different
decisionmaking bodies and political systems.
