In case you missed it: The Spacelab Story: Science Aboard the Shuttle is a newly published book by science writer Ben Evans that is part of the Springer Praxis Books Space Exploration series. About this book: “Between 1983 and 1998, Spacelab provided NASA with a vital short-term laboratory in space. On more than a dozen missions, Spacelab’s pressurized research modules and science pallets have supported hundreds of experiments from life sciences to microgravity, Earth sciences to astrophysics, and materials processing to fluid dynamics. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the science conducted aboard the space shuttle, the experimental precursors to the ISS, and the international politics surrounding NASA’s pioneering space efforts.” For more information and how to access this book, visit
