- Compact basic knowledge in one volume
- With current planetary missions, but also simulation games from the Cold War era
This paperback deals with exciting future projects in space flight. These include planetary missions currently in the planning stage as well as highly exciting simulation games from the Cold War era. The book also takes an in-depth look at the paradigm shift currently emerging in space flight – away from state-run prestige projects to largely privately financed projects geared towards tourism – and the opportunities this shift presents.
The author Eugen Reichl was a long-time employee of a major international manufacturer of launch vehicles and space flight propulsion systems. He is the author of numerous highly regarded publications on space flight and space flight history.
