The two major countries hoping for leadership in the area (apart from China) are Japan and India, both of whom have significant launcher capabilities.\u003cbr\u003eThere is a general introductory chapter which places the space programmes of the region in the comparative context of the other space-faring nations of the world. The author reviews the main space programmes of Japan and India in turn, concentrating on their origins, the development of launcher and space facilities, scientific and engineering programmes, and future prospects.\u003cbr\u003eThe book concludes with a chapter comparing how similarly\/differently Japan and India are developing their space programmes, how they are likely to proceed in the future, and what impact the programmes have had in their own region and what they have contributed so far to global space research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-04-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852331993\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 210\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915219849356,"sku":"9781852331993","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852331993.jpg?v=1774492849","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781852331993","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
