Introduction
Space exploration is the ongoing discovery and exploration of celestial
structures in outer space by means of continuously evolving and growing
space technology. While the study of space is conducted primarily by
astronomers with telescopes, the physical exploration of space is conducted
both by unmanned robotic probes and human spaceflight. Although studies
from earth using optical and radio telescopes have accumulated much data on
the nature of celestial bodies, it was not until after World War II that
the development of powerful rockets made direct space exploration a
technological possibility. The first artificial satellite, Sputnik I, was
launched by the USSR (now Russia) on Oct. 4, 1957,and spurred the dormant
U.S. program into action, leading to an international competition popularly
known as the "spacerace." Explorer I, the first American satellite, was
launched on Jan. 31, 1958. Although earth-orbiting satellites have by far
accounted for the great majority of launches in the space program, even
more information on the moon, other planets, and the sun has been acquired
by space probes.

Objective
The primary objective of this proposed publication is to provide a more
holistic perspective of space exploration than is commonly found in other
single-volume Reference books regarding this subject. The benefit to the
target audiences below is self-evident in that it would not be necessary to
locate different sources often dispersed in various literature.

Target Audience
The primary target audience for this publication are academics devoted to
the study of space exploration and all of its related topics. The secondary
audience are practitioners and others who have an interest in the subject
matter. While having academic rigor, the book will be written in a way such
that it can also be understood by non-academics and non-specialists who
have the educational background to comprehend the importance of the
proposed publication.
