Original printed wraps 17x24cm. (2), XVIII, 403, (3)pp English text with Preface in French by Maurice Roy, President of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).

He also considers the philosophical concepts of the Space Age, future expectations from technology, and extra-terrestrial civilisations. He drew on his meetings with numerous space and other scientific agencies, and gives prominent attention to COSPAR, explaining its purpose, and the benefits of joining.

COSPAR's mandate was to act as a bridge between the Eastern and Western Blocs by promoting research and experience sharing among national scientific institutions and international scientific unions. Headquartered in Paris, Maurice Roy had been its President since 1962.…
