Forty-four international academics and researchers contribute 49 chapters examining how archaeologists and engineers document and evaluate the artifacts resulting from the tons of material launched into space. The authors explore the sky as seen from the perspective of archaeologists and physical scientists; the sky in world cultures; the Space Age within an historical context; the variety and complexity of the material resources of space, both on and off the earth, and as part of the cultural landscape of humans; space forensics, mystery solving, and the unknowns regarding malfunctions and lost or failed missions; the impacts of the space environment on materials and systems; the preservation of significant space artifacts; the international space community and space law; space archaeology and the future; exoarchaeology in the solar system; and the influence of science fiction writers on human interest in space travel.
