Reviews
"A great book! A necessary book! ... For me the book in its chronological order and panoramic picture of all the managerial, technological, and political aspects of the Hermes project lets me fill in many gaps and leads to a better understanding of decisions which were not clear at all at the time. ... the book demonstrates the dream is alive and hopefully the next generation of politicians, managers and engineers will be educated by this 'historical' book." (Joachim J. Kehr, Journal of Space Operations & Communicator, opsjournal.org, Vol. 4 (1), January, 2017), "Spaceplane HERMES is a very thorough book on the long history of the European quest to develop an independent human spaceflight capability. ... this reviewer views this book as an example of what works and what does not and how politics, diplomacy, funding, and technical challenges play into the development of complex international space systems. Overall, this book is appropriate for any individual with an interest in space history. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; professionals and general readers." (D. B. Spencer, Choice, Vol. 57 (11), July, 2017) "A great book! A necessary book! ...

(Joachim J. Kehr, Journal of Space Operations & Communicator, opsjournal.org, Vol. 4 (1), January, 2017) "The book is written with an easy fl owing style which makes it suitable for all readerships. ... Arranged in chronological order, it opens in 1946 with France's fi rst tentative dreams of space. It is an attractively presented publication, well illustrated with diagrams and pictures. One must also not forget the extensive index." (Odyssey: The e-Magazine of the British Interplanetary Society, Issue 51, January, 2017)

Synopsis
This is the first comprehensive book on the European Hermes program. It tells the fascinating story of how Europe aimed for an independent manned spaceflight capability which was to complement US and Soviet/Russian space activities. In 1975, France decided to expand its plans for automated satellites for materials processing to include the development of a small 10 ton spaceplane to be launched on top of a future heavy-lifting Ariane rocket. This Hermes spaceplane would give Europe its own human spaceflight capability for shuttling crews between Earth and space stations. The European Space Agency backed the proposal. Unfortunately, after detailed studies, the project was cancelled in 1993. If Hermes had been introduced into service, it could have become the preferred "space taxi" for ferrying crews to and from the International Space Station. But that opportunity was lost. This book provides the first look of the complete story of and reasons for the demise of this ambitious program. It also gives an account which pieces of Hermes survived and are active in the 2nd decade of the 21st century. This fascinating story will be a great read for space enthusiasts. But it will also serve as a comprehensive documentation of an important episode in the history of manned spaceflight.
