Opis: Politics of Space - Eligar Sadeh, Eliga

The pace of space exploration has long been dictated by political motivations. This book helps to explain why this is so in the post-Cold War era. Combining essays, a glossary of terms, tables and statistics, this new title from Routledge comes as a welcome addition to this increasingly popular topic. The book: covers theories and concepts, as well as current issues; gives a background to international and national space agencies; contains essays that cover military, commercial and governmental actors in space politics; includes a glossary section that focuses on space organizations, including national space agencies, governmental organizations with a role in space, intergovernmental organizations, space and aerospace companies, satellite communications service companies, and nongovernmental organizations, which include research institutes, laboratories, grass root groups, and various types of private nonprofit entities; and offers information in figures, tables and documentation.Part I: Essays Politics of Space - Eligar Sadeh National Security Space - Peter L.
