Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1970. Trade Paperback.

Printed paper wraps, octavo, illustrated in b&w. 308 pp. 
A detailed history of Project Vanguard satellite program which contextualizes the failures and successes of the program against the overwhelming volume of literature about Sputnik and the Von Braun Explorer I.  The Vanguard project was grueling foundation for the day-to-day operation of the Space Age: a milestone in procurement, cost-effectiveness, logistics, margins of error, scientific experiment and field testing.
