It has been 5 years since the appearance of the 1st Edition of Space Psychology and Psychiatry. The book reached a fairly broad audience, including astronauts and cosmonauts, space agency officials, members of the scientific community, undergraduate and graduate students, and the general public. Much has happened in the field since then, with many advances in psychological space research. As a result, it seemed timely to cover these advances in a new edition of the book.
