Space-Borne
by Patricia Fanthorpe and Lionel Fanthorpe and R L FanthorpeIt was a proud moment in the earth's history, when twenty-four dedicated volunteers set off, on that bright summer morning in 1993, to conquer the vastnesses of inter-stellar space. They did not hope to accomplish their Herculean task in the meagre span of human life. It was their descendants who would walk out onto the as yet undiscovered, planets of the alien stars... or so they dreamed. There were dire perils ahead of them. Damage to their engines, radio-activity the invisible killer, space madness and the failure of the life giving hydroponic tanks which supplied their oxygen. Yet the worst enemy of all was the enemy within themselves. The human failure of men and women, locked in the close confines of the Star Ship. Then there was the Alien Ship... Friend or foe?... Saviour or destroyer?

by John Russell Fearn and Vargo StattenDr. Cranley is sentenced to exile in space for murdering a rival scientist, and swears revenge... Later, across the world people suddenly start behaving like lunatics, culminating in their being gripped by hysterical laughter until they collapse-dead. It becomes known as the Laughing Plague. Eventually it is learned that the Earth has crossed the path of a spatial cloud of gas that was the result of an ancient cataclysm that blew the one-time moon of Venus to pieces, leaving its poison atmosphere free in space. Then, radio messages are received from Dr. Cranley, now domiciled and living on Venus. He offers to send a Venusian antidote to save humanity. But can he be trusted?
International Space Station (UEB Uncontracted)
byThis is an image of the ISS, a very large man-made satellite orbiting the Earth at a height of 350 kilometres. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The station is used mainly for scientific research and although originally built by Russia and America, it is now manned by representatives of fourteen nations. In the centre of the page are the modules used for living and scientific research. These are attached one to another and reach the top of the page with the topmost one used as a dock for the Space Shuttle. Two rectangular solar panels extend out to the left and right of the modules. Down the page from these is the main truss running across the page. This supports two much larger panels on the far left and right of the page. Just to the left of centre, on the main truss, there is the mobile servicing system, which runs on rails, has two robot arms and is used for various construction and servicing tasks. To give an idea of the size of the structure, a scale image of a person in a space suit (approximately 6 mm high) is shown at the top centre of the page, just to the left of the research modules. The space station is constantly being changed and added to, so this diagram can only give an approximate impression of its layout.
