Government Documents on Space Policy
The U.S. Government has spent billions of dollars on space exploration and research since the 1950�s. Other foreign governments and international government organizations also invest enormous financial and personnel resources in space exploration and research. This exploration and research has produced a tremendous amount of documentation which can be studied and analyzed by users in print and electronic formats. Purdue Libraries have significant government resources dealing with space policy, research, and exploration. These resources are primarily in the ENGR and HSSE Libraries though they can be found in other Purdue Libraries as well.
