Provenance

Where it came from

Commissioned by NASA as part of the agency's official history series, this volume documents the complex evolution of the Vanguard program, the United States' initial attempt to launch an artificial satellite into Earth's orbit. Authored by Constance McLaughlin Green and Milton Lomask, the work was published to provide a detailed, objective administrative record of the project's successes and its much-publicized setbacks during the dawn of the Space Age.

The text serves as a scholarly analysis of the bureaucratic and technical challenges faced by the Naval Research Laboratory during the late 1950s. Green, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, utilized her expertise to contextualize the project within the broader geopolitical pressures of the Cold War and the ensuing Space Race. Upon its release, the volume was recognized for its rigorous research, becoming a primary reference for historians studying the origins of American space policy.
