Scientific Uses of Earth Satellites
1958, Second Revised Edition Edited by James A. Van Allen
Open Access
The first edition of the volume, now less than two years old, has served as a frame of reference in the development of the United States program of scientific observations with satellites during the International Geophysical Year. Several of the experiments contemplated by authors of the various chapters have been performed successfully. Nearly all of the others are in an advanced state of preparation. Originally, Scientific Uses of Earth Satellites was an assemblage of proposals and analyses. It is now a veritable handbook of work underway in this new and rapidly expanding scientific field.
