The Astro Info Service website is going to be updated over the coming months, primarily focusing upon the pioneering first two decades of humans in space (1961-1980) and on space station operations from 1971 (Salyut, Skylab, Mir, Tiangong). The International Space Station will have its own expanded section, while the Space Shuttle will also be covered separately. Much of what will be added to the site will provide follow-on stories and information to complement previously published books. Material that was previously published on this site will be available in due course in our Archive vault.
