The Story of
Manned Space Stations
by Philip Baker
(April 2007)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.
