About the Author

Dr Henry Richter is a native of Long Beach, California. He served in the US Navy, including a stint on board the USS John A. Bole, a “badly beat up” Sumner-class destroyer, at the tail end of World War II. From his naval career as an electronic technician’s mate, he then went to the California Institute of Technology where he received a BS (1952) and PhD (1955) in chemistry, with physics and electrical engineering minors. He was hired by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) after graduating, just in time for the (literal) launching of the space race when the USSR (the former Russian communist empire) orbited the world’s first satellite, Sputnik I, in 1957. Henry was picked to oversee the development of America’s first earth satellite, Explorer I.
