Über den Autor
Having followed spaceflight activities since 1968, David Shayler has a broad range of experience and files covering all aspects of human spaceflight history. In October 1982, he created Astro Info Service to focus on his space writing and research, with lectures and educational outreach activities. Early publications included the periodicals 'Orbiter' on the shuttle and 'Zenit' on Soviet activities, and a growing range of biographies on the world's space explorers. In 1990 David co-created the Midland Spaceflight Society and acted as its chairman. His first book was published in 1987 and since then he has authored over 20 titles, including 13 titles in the Praxis Space Library between 2000 and 2009. He has contributed to titles on human spaceflight, including the three editions of Who's Who in Space (MacMillan, 1998). Personal research has been conducted at NASA JSC in Houston, and at KSC in Florida, as well as at Rice and Clear Lake Universities and NARA archives in Texas. His research continues daily and new titles are under various stages of production, some of which are available via the AIS website (www.astroinfoservice.co.uk). Most of Michael Shayler's knowledge and experience connected with this proposed publication comes about through David Shayler's work with Astro Info Service. Michael is a certified proof reader and editor, and he has been the initial proof reader and editor for David's work for both Astro Info Service and commercial publishers since 1992, as well as working freelance for Springer-Praxis. This includes work on the title, Women in Space (2005), Walking in Space (2004), NASA's Scientst-Astronauts (2007), and Russia's Cosmonauts (2005). He has co-authored the Springer-Praxis book Marswalk One (2005). As a former member of the British Interplanetary Society, Michael was an editor and article writer for their quarterly junior publication, 'Voyage,' for its initial five issues until it was taken in-house. He has conducted several lectures at educational establishments on behalf of Astro Info Service, as well as research trips to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
