NASA Spaceflight

"NASA Spaceflight" offers a comprehensive analysis of the history of innovation at NASA, highlighting the role of partnerships between the public and private sectors as well as international collaborations in space exploration. The book brings together experts who trace the complex and often risky history of these partnerships through twelve case studies. Significant developments such as AT&T's early satellite technology, the connections between the Apollo program and Silicon Valley, and the rise of SpaceX are examined. These projects, which experienced both successes and failures, challenge traditional methods of spaceflight and provide valuable insights into the innovation process. The essays in this book are a valuable resource for decision-makers, investors, economists, and members of the space community who wish to learn from past experiences.
