Space Information Systems in the Space Station Era: Proceedings of the AIAA/NASA International Symposium on Space Information Systems in the Space Station Era, Washington, DC and Greenbelt, MD, June 22-23, 1987

Washington, DC: AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics), 1988. Presumed first edition/first printing. Hardcover. xi, [1], 314 p. Illustrations. References. Index. From Wikipedia: "The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) is the professional society for the field of aerospace engineering. The AIAA was founded in 1963 from the merger of two earlier societies: the American Rocket Society (ARS), founded in 1930 as the American Interplanetary Society (AIS), and the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences (IAS), founded in 1932 as the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences. AIAA is the U.S. representative on the International Astronautical Federation and the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences. As of 2004[update], AIAA has more than 35, 000 members. Despite its name, the society has members among aerospace professionals worldwide, although the majority are American and/or live in the United States. Some AIAA seminars and conventions are restricted to U.S. citizens, due to security issues. AIAA is split to seven regions, North-East, South-East, Central, South-Central, Mid-West, West, and International. The regions are subdivided into Sections, usually based in major cities. Universities with programs in aerospace engineering or related fields may form Student Branches, which are overseen and in part funded by their parent Section. Another aspect of AIAA is their standards writing activities. In the past, AIAA standards for aeronautics have been incorporated into broader standards and public laws. These standards help transition innovative aeronautical ideas to everyday usage." Condition: Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling.
