Space Manual, engl. ed. - The International Space Station (ISS)

In 2003, the first space station in the history of mankind will be put into operation. On an area of over 2.000 cubic metres up to 20 people will be able to work and live. How does one eat and drink in weightlessness? How does a space toilet function? How do astronauts sleep and take a shower? Why does the sense of taste and the sense of color change? How does the body react to the loss of gravity?
All the fascination and intelligence around space ist highlighted in the Space Manual. The above mentioned phenomena, the sober scientific approach to the topic, the coolish look of the astronaut's nurtition and gadgets which help astronauts live under zero-gravity conditions are the essence of both editing and desingning the Space Manual.
