Description
|
|
|
|
This authoritative, illustrated history, first published by NASA in 1970, chronicles the Vanguard project, which despite a spectacular early failure eventually placed the United States' second successful satellite into Earth orbit; Vanguard 1, launched in 1958, is currently the oldest man-made object in orbit. In addition to analysis of the program's scientific and technical challenges, the book surveys the influence of the launchings of the first Russian Sputniks and Vanguard's impact on subsequent space missions.
