The Space Exploration annuals provide a yearly update on recent space launches, missions and results, to be published every September. The annual covers space exploration from a variety of angles, looking back at past missions, reviewing those currently under way and detailing those planned for the future, and encompassing both manned and unmanned spaceflight. The annual is written at an accessible level for both young and older space enthusiasts to provide a regular, balanced review of all the world’s major space programmes, past, present and future. There is a special additional section in this year’s annual entitled, ‘Return to the Moon’.

Anybody with a passing interest in spaceflight will enjoy this book. It will give them an overview of the state of space exploration and perhaps whet their appetite to find out more about specific missions." (Nick Quinn, Astronomy Now, February, 2008)
