Description This book outlines the history of the quest for a permanent habitat in space; describes our present thinking of the relationship between the Space Station, space platforms, and the overall space program; and outlines a number of resultant possibilities about the future of the space program. Therefore, this book is but one chapter in the quest for the effective use of man's last frontier. It is our intention, in putting forth this book, to outline the design concepts that prevail at this time as a means of stimulating innovative thinking about space stations and their utilization on the part of scientists, engineers, and most important for the long future ahead of us, the students of today who will soon replace us.
