Produktbeschreibung
The European Space Agency has a long history of cooperating with NASA in human spaceflight, having developed the Spacelab module for carrying in the payload bay of the Space Shuttle. This book tells of the development of ESA's Columbus microgravity science laboratory of the International Space Station and the European astronauts who work in it. From the beginning, ESA has been in close collaboration on the ISS, making a significant contribution to the station hardware. Special focus is given to Columbus and Copula as well as station resupply using the ATV. Each mission is also examined individually, creating a comprehensive picture of ESA's crucial involvement over the years. Extensive use of color photographs from NASA and ESA to depict the experiments carried out, the phases of the ISS construction, and the personal stories of the astronauts in space highlights the crucial European work on human spaceflight.

Rezensionen
"Each chapter contains a biography of the astronaut, the specific activities of the mission, and beautiful color photographs of the crew member and mission patches, and ends with a description of the current status of the astronaut. Though the book will interest space enthusiasts, it is essentially a catalog and time line of activities that are readily available in other sources. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers." (J. Z. Kiss, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)

"In the Footsteps of Columbus will give you an overview rich in technical details about Europe's role in the ISS ... . best suited for future historians who will find it a useful reference as they dig deeper in the why and how, and not just the who and when, of Europe's place in space." (Jeff Foust, The Space Review, August, 2016)

"European human spaceflight is the topic of this fine book and encyclopedia. ... This book should belong to the library (or notebook) of every space-enthusiast, space engineer or layman interested in European space exploration. It should be within easy reach to be consulted as often as possible - you always glean something new." (Joachim J. Kehr, Journal of Space Operations & Communicator, Vol. 13 (4), 2016)
