History of space exploration

This book illustrates how space probes provide us with facts about the celestial bodies in our solar system and examines how these probes help us explore the universe by detecting black holes, star clusters, and nebulae.

This book explores the history of space stations, from the first space station, the Soviet's "Salyut 1" to the long-lived Soviet "Mir," to the shorter career of "Skylab," the U.S. space station.
