The purpose of this book is to expose scientists and engineers active in space projects to the many different and useful way that economic analysis and methodology can help get the job done. Whether it be through an understanding of cost-estimating procedures or through better insight into the use of economics in strategic planning and marketing, the space professional will find that the use of a formal and structured economic analysis early in the design of a program will make later decisions easier and more informed. This book will help guide non-economists to the use of the appropriate and proper economics tools to answer specific questions. It is intended as a guide to those who must make decisions concerning the allocation of scarce resources among and within space programs. It is aimed at encouraging the knowledge and appropriate use of economics in situations space scientists and engineers are likely to encounter. This book (the first of five volumes), provides an understanding of the biological consequences of space flight. The first volume presents the current status of our understanding of space and general information that becomes useful in later volumes, as well as discussing exobiology and space exploration.
