The Global Space Industry
\nIn response to questions about the cost of space programmes and the benefits that accrue, Spaceflight introduces a new periodic feature called FACTCHECKER, which will address a specific issue in contention and attempt to find out the truth behind the headlines.<\/p>\n
China\u2019s First Space Station Plans
\nRenowned analyst of Russian and Chinese space missions, trajectories and projections, Phillip Clark examines the build-up to China\u2019s first major space station complex and explains the various elements which will go into its as-sembly.<\/p>\n

Stations in LEO \u2013 and beyond
\nIn the second part of a two-part examination of future plans for human space flight goals in the next decade or so, we examine the options for maintaining stations in Earth orbit and for placing new facilities around the Moon.<\/p>\n
Genetic gifts and a Mars mission
\nWilliam Rowe MD looks at challenges faced by humans on flights to Mars and asks whether we have learned any-thing at all from the Moon missions of the Apollo era.<\/p>\n
Talking to Icarus
\nPeter Milne takes time from his work on the Icarus interstellar study to report on challenges to communicating with space probes at our nearest stellar neighbours.<\/p>\n
