Observatories in Earth Orbit and Beyond [E-Book] : Proceedings of the 123RD Colloquium of the International Astronomical Union, Held in Greenbelt, Maryland, U.S.A., April 24–27,1990 / edited by Y. Kondo.
When I became President of International Astronomical Union Commission 44 for the triennial period 1985-1988, several members of the Organizing Committee and I agreed that it would be a good idea for our Commission to host a conference on observatories in space in view of their increasingly importan...

"name" and "number" keys or a flat string containing only the series
name. We should account for both cases to maximize compatibility. */?>
