Engins Spatiaux
More than half a century ago, the Soviet Union set the world alight with Sputnik 1, which would inspire terror and awe in those who could pick up its radio signals.
As for those who doubted that such a feat was possible, they could simply stand in their backyards and watch the sunset. Today, hundreds of thousands of satellites, rockets, probes, landers and more have followed in Sputnik's footsteps.
We've seen Earthrises from the Moon, we've dug into the soil of Mars, we've raced into orbit aboard the ISS as it silently circles our planet. And we've tested, developed, launched, lost and celebrated the most mind-blowing machines ever to exist.
"Engins spatiaux" tells the story of this epic journey, right up to the current program: how we got here and where we're going. Air and space historian Giuseppe de Chiara and historian Michael H. Gorn have teamed up to produce this vast collection of beautifully illustrated and carefully researched profiles that describe the design, development, and operation of these craft, both manned and unmanned.
Satellites, capsules, rocket planes, launchers, and space stations are drawn from multiple angles, sometimes in cross-section, and accompanied by archival photographs from the time that help place them in their historical context. Expect to be amazed; you're heading for the stars.
