A critical review of the state of foreign space technologyScientific and technical capabilities of foreign nations, i.e., USSR, Japan, West Germany, UK, France, and other ESA nations, are reviewed. Attention is given to areas in which these nations are concentrating their efforts, as well as to areas in which achievements have already been realized. Among them: space industry and processing (including nonterrestrial mining), communications satellite technology, life support systems and space colonies, earth observation, space-borne astronomy and unmanned planetary probes, materials and propulsion, and exobiology (CETI/SETI).
