Designed to help students and teachers better appreciate science and engineering in a global context, this eBook introduces a special collection of interesting spacecraft, which show how satellite technology has dramatically changed over the past five-plus decades. Examples range from the grapefruit-sized spacecraft called Vanguard to NASA's Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF), an enormous space platform that was the size of a large bus. A wealth of images help bring the topic to life.
