EXPLORATION OF SPACE

by Clarke, A. C.

New York, 1952: Harper and Brothers, 199 pages, $4.50 (1959 edition)

Exploration of Space rapidly became a very popular treatment of astronautics, with emphasis on lunar and interplanetary bases, travel through space, spaceships, communications, navigation, and medical aspects of man in space. Two chapters cover "Other Suns than Ours" and "To the Stars". Black and white and color plates enhance the book. A somewhat revised 200 page edition was later published (1959).
