I am circulating this message after receiving prior permission via
Bart De Pontieuu because of its commercial nature. Anyone who is
interested in the publication(s) should please contact me direct rather
than taking up space on the mailing list.
During the 1980s and 1990s Nicholas L Johnson of Teledyne Brown
Engineering and later Kaman Sciences wrote a series of annual reports
in the series "The Soviet Year In Space" (1981-1990) which evolved
into "Europe And Asia In Space" for the years 1991-1992 and 1993-1994.
It is probable that you are familiar with these publications.
Following Mr Johnson taking a position within NASA these reports
ceased publication.
I have decided to publish an unofficial replacement Report which will
hopefully become an annual publication: "CIS SPACE ACTIVITY 2000".
My plan is to have the Report taken to the printers around January
31st 2001 and then copies will be mailed out as soon as they come back
from the printer.
A list of contents of the Report is given at the end of this e-mail.
It is possible that additional sections might be added in the
meantime, but the list represents the minimum sections to be included.
Unlike Mr Johnson's reports, "CIS SPACE ACTIVITY 2000" will be a
commercial venture. Using "L" for the "pounds sterling" symbol, the
basic Report cost will be L45. Adding on the cost of postage and
packing - and, for non-UK purchasers, an additional amount to cover
what the bank charges for any overseas transactions - the total
amounts will be:-
Within the UK (first class delivery) L48.75
Within Europe (air mail delivery) L59.50
Rest of the World (air mail, printed material delivery) L63.20
I have kept the price as low as possible to ensure that the cost will
be within the range of the seriously-interested non-professional as
well as affordable by the professionals interested in this subject.
If you wish to purchase a copy of Report then you can either contact
me by post, fax (+44 1424 715286) or e-mail and I will send you a pro
forma invoice to cover the cost of the Report. Alternatively you
could arrange the appropriate payment without an initial invoice and I
will issue a receipted invoice upon receipt of your payment.
In addition you might be interested in a companion Report which I am
also planning to have ready at the beginning of February next year:
"CHINESE SPACE ACTIVITY, 1996-2000". The bulk of the work on that
Report will be complete by the end of this year and if you are
interested in this Report then please contact me and I will let to you
know a final price during the second week of January 2001: the price
will be more in line with the other Reports published by the Molniya
Space Consultancy, at around L100, plus postage/packing. Although
intended to take the year-end as a cut-off, I shall be including Shen
Zhou 2 if it is launched as expected on January 5th, 2001 for a ~7
days flight.
I hope to hear from you regarding either or both of these Reports, but
if you have any queries before placing an order then please do not
hesitate to contact me.
