Abstract

In this final chapter, we review, first, future missions that are proposed and then make an historical overview of Soviet and Russian space science so as to analyze key organizations, institutions, systems, and patterns of development. We look at its key features, personalities, decisions, and the dissemination of outcomes in an international context.
