About this book

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is all too often thought of in a purely national context – as an American initiative developed specifically to compete with the Soviet Union. Yet, from its inception in 1958, NASA was mandated not only to sustain U.S. leadership in space, but also to pursue international collaboration. Since that time, NASA has participated in over 4,000 international projects, even as historians have almost entirely neglected this remarkable aspect of the agency's work.

This definitive and groundbreaking study, NASA in the World, is the first to trace NASA's history in a truly international context. Drawing on unprecedented access to agency archives and personnel, NASA in the World explores US-Soviet cooperation during the darkest days of the Cold War, relations with India and Japan, the development of the International Space Station, and a host of other fascinating episodes, making it a signal contribution to space studies and American diplomatic history.
