(International Space Review, September, 2005) "Brian Harvey’s excellent retrospective looks beyond just the European Space Agency to cover all European space activities. … Harvey also shows how the multinational ESA finally made European space co-operation a reality, after years of trying." (Sean Blair, Astronomy Now, May, 2004) "This book is a comprehensive account of the development of the European Space Programme … . The book highlights the contribution of the European Space Agency’s scientific work and its continuing technological achievements … . Europe’s Space Programme gives a fascinating insight into the politics, science and organisation of the European Space work and the national enterprises involved. This is an important book … . This is a splendid book … . Everyone should read this book." (Richard Broughton, AURORA, November, 2003) "This is a fine book, a good example of how to write technical text. Its subject matter, the development of the European space programme, although full of interesting characters and Machiavellian plot lines, in less-able hands may well have been handled in a ploddingly dull manner. Harvey brings it to life, not with literary fire but with careful explanations and enough detail to tell the story but not so much that it becomes a moronic fact sheet." (Barry Kent, The Observatory, Vol. 123 (1177), 2003) "Europe’s Space Programme: To Ariane and Beyond is a book well worth having on your reference shelf. It gives a detailed but highly digestible account of the birth of the ESA (European Space Agency) and its activities right up to the end of 2002, and is both useful and entertaining. … A five-page list of acronyms and abbreviations near the beginning of the book is convenient … . There are around 120 illustrations, many of them of significant historical interest." (Anna Nolan, Astronomy & Space, July, 2003) "Europe’s Space Programme is a book of great ambition. It attempts to describe Europe’s achievements in space over the past 60 years, starting with the successful launch of the first V2 rocket … . Europe has witnessed such rapid and dramatic political and economic changes since then that Brian Harvey’s ambitious venture deserves our admiration … . the book succeeds in presenting the European space effort as a major success." (Roger-Maurice Bonnet, Physics World, September, 2003) "This is really a good reference book which fits nicely in the series of other space books that Springer has published in the last few years … . Brian Harvey’s book is recommended to the readers." (Jos Heyman, News Bulletin of the Astronautical Society of Western Australia, Vol. 28 (8), 2003) ## Images ![Europe's Space Programme: To Ariane and Beyond (Springer Praxis Books) Paperback – Import, 14 Feb 2003 - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51gdECNgBPL.jpg) ![Europe's Space Programme: To Ariane and Beyond (Springer Praxis Books) Paperback – Import, 14 Feb 2003 - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31ILjTBupLL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/77392247-europes-space-programme-to-ariane-and-beyond-springer-praxis-books](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/77392247-europes-space-programme-to-ariane-and-beyond-springer-praxis-books) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
