Scientific paper

This book describes in summary form the history covering Europe's cooperative space efforts. In the first part the authors give the background to Europe's entry into space and explore the circumstances surrounding the setting up of ESRO and ELDO and the implementation of ESRO's first scientific programme. The next major part describes first the attempts to re-orient the European space effort towards the development of telecommunication satellites. It then presents the efforts to define the place of launchers in European space policy from the mid-1960s onwards, and discusses the new possibilities opened up by the American offer to participate in the post-Apollo programme. Finally, in the last part of the book, the authors show how the conflicts that so characterised the latter part of the 1960s were resolved and the foundations laid for ESA. They describe the new scientific programme that was approved, and the "package deals" that were arranged. In the conclusion they look back over the fifteen years they have surveyed.
