Scramble for the Skies: The Great Power Competition to Control the Resources of Outer Space - Paperback

by Namrata Goswami (Author), Peter A. Garretson (Author)

With a focus on China, the United States, and India, this book examines the economic ambitions of the second space race.

The authors demonstrate how these influences affect the development of national space programs as well as policy and law.
