Some of that came from my Dad. He designed Minitrack and the Naval Space Surveillance System (two tracking systems). He also designed the Vanguard 1. I'm in the first six seconds of this video of yours truly, my brother and three sisters. We'll shown around the Vanguard 1 a week or two before its launch in March, 1958. I'm wearing the red coat.

“There will many more details in the book about GPS I’m writing with a co-author to be published in 2013.”
Sounds like just the kind of book I love to read.
I would be pleased if you would send me a freepmail or a ping when you release your book!
