Picking up where Tragedy and Triumph in Orbit: The Eighties and Early Nineties left off, the story commemorating the evolution of manned space exploration unfolds here in yet more detail. More than fifty years after Yuri Gagarins pioneering journey into space, Evans extends his comprehensive overview of how that momentous journey continued through the decades that followed. Partnership in Space, the fifth book in the series, explores the final years in which the United States and the Soviet Union which became the Commonwealth of Independent States in 1992 pursued human space endeavors independently of each other. The narrative follows the path taken by two old foes towards an unlikely and often controversial partnership. As the Shuttle program recovered from the loss of Challenger and pursued ever loftier goals, including the ambitious repair of the Hubble Space Telescope, Mir suffered from economic collapse and political neglect. Yet both Mir and the Shuttle formed a fertile ground upon which the seeds of what would become today's International Space Station were sown. Both nations acutely needed the support of the other to achieve their goals. As political relations thawed between the two superpowers, a new relationship was forged. This cooperation saw Russians flying aboard the Shuttle and Americans flying aboard Mir and became a partnership that endures to this day. 000695629 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000695629 650_0 $$aAstronautics$$xInternational cooperation$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000695629 650_0 $$aAstronautics$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000695629 650_0 $$aAstronautics$$zRussia (Federation)$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000695629 650_0 $$aAstronautics$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000695629 651_0 $$aOuter space$$xExploration$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000695629 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aEvans, Ben, 1976-$$tPartnership in space$$z9781461432777$$w(OCoLC)820780700 000695629 830_0 $$aSpringer-Praxis books in space exploration. 000695629 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695629 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-3278-4$$zOnline Access 000695629 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695629$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695629 980__ $$aEBOOK 000695629 980__ $$aBIB 000695629 982__ $$aEbook 000695629 983__ $$aOnline 000695629 994__ $$a92$$bISE
