ARTIFICIAL SATELLITES

by Ovenden, M. W.

Harmondsworth (England), 1960: Penguin Books, Ltd., 128 pages, $1.25

A general survey of satellites and space exploration, the book is divided into eight chapters on the bases and history of space travel, satellite orbits, rockets, the launching of artificial satellites up through Midas 2, use of satellites for conducting scientific experiments, lunar and planetary probes, and ideas as to where the future will lead us. While short, the book provides a very comprehensive general level survey of its subject. There is an index and a good selection of illustrations and diagrams throughout.
