PHOTOGRAPHS

All of the photographs used in this manuscript are from the NASA Human Space­flight Gallery on the NASA website quoted above. In illustrating the manuscript, I have attempted to include an image of each individual who has visited the Inter­national Space Station in the period covered in this volume. Due to the large number of people involved, Shuttle crews are represented by their official crew portrait. Shuttle mission in-flight images generally show external views. Expedition crews and Soyuz “taxi” crews are generally shown in images of each individual at work inside the station. Occasionally, group photographs are used as these show an indi­vidual, usually a commercial spaceflight participant, who is not available in an individual view.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Many people have helped me to find the information in this manuscript. The Public Relations personnel at the space agencies listed above have, as always, been tireless in their assistance. David Harland, my co-aurthor on the first volume in this series, has had an editorial input, as has Bruce Shuttlewood of Originator. At Praxis Publishing, Clive Horwood and all of the Praxis staff have given their usual unending assistance and support. I want to thank them all for their assistance. Finally, I have to thank my wife, Sue, for her patient understanding and support while I was chained to the computer, writing.
