The first six volumes of this projected
eight-volume documentary history have
already become an essential reference
for anyone interested in the history of the
U.S. civil space program and its development
over time. Each volume deals with
specific issues in the development of the
space program and includes more than
110 key documents, many of which are
published for the first time. Each is introduced
by a headnote providing context,
bibliographical details, and background
information necessary to understand
the document. These are organized into
major sections, each beginning with an
introductory essay that keys the documents
to major events in the history of
space exploration.
