Read customer reviews on AmazonExplore lift, thrust, weight, and drag, then discover why reaching space is different from staying in orbit. A fictional observation mission connects propulsion, satellite power, pointing, and data to real engineering choices. Written for ages 14–17, this black-and-white book includes a paper mission challenge with stated budgets and explained answers. It is a conceptual guide, not a set of hardware-building or launching instructions. Available on Amazon. Current prices and available formats are shown on the Amazon listing.
