In Space Station Science, former NASA mission controller
Marianne Dyson explains all the systems needed to keep the International
Space Station up and running. She shows how the simplest tasks of
daily life are changed in free fall and details the types of experiments
scientists can do in space and nowhere else. Dyson tells how we
get to and from space and gives us a glimpse into the future of
space stations. Complete with activities that simulate life in space
and illustrated with full-color photos and drawings, this insider's
guide will show you what it's like to live in a space station and
how what we learn up there could forever change our lives down here.
Illustrations completed by Dave Klug with a foreword provided by
Buzz Aldrin.
