Astronautics is a mixture of several classical disciplines contributing to a newly developed space-oriented activity of mankind. Consequently astronautical terminology is also mixed from the vocabulary of already existing disciplines, like astronomy, physics, chemistry etc. supplemented by newly coined special terms. The real problem is how completely the ,,classical" terms of these older disciplines should be included in the list of terms of an astronautical dictionary -- even if the meaning of the term is unchanged. Is the selection absolutely arbitrary or some rules can be accepted to limit the length of the list of ,,space science terms"? The Space Science Dictionary (Elsevier 1989) of J.and H. Kleczek is used as an example and analyzed from this point of view. The topic is very timely now when an IAA Study Group is working on the completion of the IAA Multilingual Space Dictionary and searching among others after space science terms to be added to the existing list of terms.
