Astrophil-Services
Astrophil-Services is a bulletin produced by Dr.Torsten Gemsa (Germany) who started about 15 years ago with the publication of lists, later bulletins, on mostly Russian space events and the events at the ISS. Recently China space covers were integrated. Dr. Gemsa has no website, but his bulletins are so complete and historical correct it would be a pitty not to mention these magazines on our website.
