Three new books for readers who are curious about the booming industry growing up around space exploitation.
Twenty years ago, as a young reporter, I trekked out to the Badlands Observatory in South Dakota. Ron Dyvig, an amateur astronomer, had built the facility to help NASA spot and track killer asteroids like the one that blotted out the dinosaurs. Dyvig welcomed me into the building and then cranked its dome open to the cold night sky to chill his telescope. Warm equipment, he explained, leads to blurry views by creating a thermal disturbance in the air.
The book chronicles an enthralling Wild West of ego, idealism, and regulation-skirting greed, where soaring dreams are weighed down by economics and physics. CEOs, investors, engineers, and welders alike are smitten, but their efforts yield mostly pedestrian tools that track cargo ships, measure crop growth, or make phone calls. Still, the projects keep multiplying.
Curious professionals eager to explore how their careers and fortunes might take off in the space industry can look to digital resources too. Newsletters and blogs such as Payload and Case Closed take stock of commerce in the space “space,” while the podcastcovers the business of Earth observation with episodes on remote sensing, commercial satellite software, and geospatial tech stacks.
