International Cooperation in Space

Program/Project Management Resource List #34

Revised Feb. 2007

Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library

As the global tensions that caused the Space Race fade into the history books, some spacefaring countries have seen fit to pool their resources to reduce their expenses while still accomplishing their missions. The Vision for Space Exploration explicitly directs NASA to "[p]ursue opportunities for international participation to support U.S. space exploration goals". Right now, an international consortium is building the International Space Station. Other ongoing missions that are being shared with other countries can be found through the websites listed at Launch Schedules and Mission Chronologies. This pathfinder covers some of the issues involved with cooperation in space.

All items are available at the Headquarters Library, except as noted.

Members of the public, contact your Local Library for the availibilty of these items. NASA Headquarters employees can request additional materials or research on this topic.
