Librarian’s Note: A nice issue to that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the magazine, the 35th anniversary of the organization, and this year’s 40th anniversary of the first Moon landing, and reminds us to look forward to this year’s 29th International Space Development Conference in Chicago as well as the new era in Lunar exploration.

Librarian’s Note: Not released in the U.S. until September. Not necessarily exactly what one might expect from a publisher better known for their automotive repair manuals, it is nevertheless laden with plenty of geek pr0n in the form of schematics, diagrams, tables, etc. The Apollo - Inertial Measuring Unit, Block II Cutaway is a good example, especially having just watched the ‘Navigation Computer’ episode of “Moon Machines”. Now you know what to get your favorite engineer for Christmas.
