Sometimes a trilogy needs four parts! The Astronomy Cast team of Fraser Cain and Pamela Gay have taken a look at the history and modern era of space stations, as well as peering into the future at some space station concepts still in the works. You can listen to this four-part series at the Astronomy Cast website, or at the links below:
Ep. 296: Space Stations, Part 1 — Salyut and Skylab
Ep. 297: Space Stations, Part 2 — Mir
