Description
Satellites have become ubiquitous in our daily lives, helping us navigate, communicate, and entertain. Yet, they remain largely invisible, orbiting above us in the cold silence of space. This book tells the story of the satellite's remarkable history, from its early beginnings in the Cold War space race to its current proliferation. With a focus on the technological and cultural significance of satellites, the author explores their evolution, forms, and impact on our popular culture.
