Space Vehicles

Description
What is that metallic object leaving Earth and flying far beyond its atmosphere? It's a space vehicle! With the help of vibrant images and factual, elementary-level STEM text, this nonfiction astronomy title for children examines the history of space vehicles--from orbiters and landers to satellites and manned space shuttles--and what they are used for. A space science feature spotlights NASA's evolving vehicle called Orion and its future deep-space missions. Captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index support readers in grade 2 and up.
