Description: For sale is a vintage hardcover children's book titled, "A Book of Satellites for You," (1962), by Franklyn M. Branley and illustrated by Leonard Kessler. This is a really amazing book and is full of factual information about Sputnik I, Sputnik II, Explorer I and Vanguard I, the latter of which appears to have had a solar powered radio and solar battery attached based on the drawing in the book. The book describes the individual satellites and how they made it into space with both first and second stage propulsion rockets. The book is surprisingly advanced for a children's book. It was dedicated "to today's youngsters-the spacemen of tomorrow." The illustrator of the book is a famous illustrator of children's books and studied with Andy Warhol during art school. This will be shipped via USPS Media Mail.
