TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a simulation of outer space environments for spaceflight experiments and for assessing the habitability of other planets (e.g., of Mars), or for studying different physical or chemical processes.
Abstract: Planetary and space simulation facilities are laboratory
devices aimed at mimicking extraterrestrial conditions,
for example, the conditions of outer space (vacuum,
temperature, radiation), of spaceflight or those of other
planets (atmospheric composition and pressure, temperature
fluctuations, radiation for ▶Mars) or moons (gas
mixture, pressure, low temperature for Saturn’s moon
Titan). They are valuable instruments in the preparation
of flight experiments (selection of suitable biological candidates,
chemical compounds, and hardware material for
astro- and space biological experiments in Earth orbit), for
assessing the habitability of other planets (e.g., of Mars),
or for studying different physical or chemical processes
(e.g., for Titan).

TL;DR: The Astropolitik as discussed by the authors is the first book that can legitimately claim to present a comprehensive theory of space power, and it is one of the most important works in the field.
Abstract: intellectually grounded in the best tradition of geopolitics, has something genuinely new to say, and makes vital contributions to the dialogue between the interrelationships between space and national security ... A stunning intellectual achievement and the first book that can legitimately claim to present a comprehensive theory of space power - - Air and Space Power Journal " ... groundbreaking and will definitely command attention ... a daring and forward-looking book ... one of the most daring and exciting books to be written on this subject" - Comparative Strategy Mr B. Haggman, Centre for Research on Geopolitics "presents one of the most important contributions, also one of the first, in the field" Defense Review "Outstanding literature relevant to policy on outer space is rare. More often than not, the policy maker dealing with space matters has to trawl through narrow and dry technical tomes, or fantastical speculation of no relevance whatsoever. As an excellent example of relevant writing on outer space policy, Everett Dolman"s Astropolitik is most welcome...highly recommended and rewarding read for anyone interested in current thinking on the direction of US military and civil space policy, and how such thinking might affect space policy in Britain." RUSI Journal "a timely cascade of grand-strategic thought" "A timely text that examines the theoretical, political and policy structures of space. ...Required reading for serious space-power advocates, this book will dominate the field of space theory." - Aerospace Power Chronicles

TL;DR: In Placing Outer Space, Messeri traces how the place-making practices of planetary scientists transform the void of space into a cosmos filled with worlds that can be known and explored as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In Placing Outer Space Lisa Messeri traces how the place-making practices of planetary scientists transform the void of space into a cosmos filled with worlds that can be known and explored. Making planets into places is central to the daily practices and professional identities of the astronomers, geologists, and computer scientists Messeri studies. She takes readers to the Mars Desert Research Station and a NASA research center to discuss ways scientists experience and map Mars. At a Chilean observatory and in MIT's labs she describes how they discover exoplanets and envision what it would be like to inhabit them. Today’s planetary science reveals the universe as densely inhabited by evocative worlds, which in turn tells us more about Earth, ourselves, and our place in the universe.
