Description
SATELLITE IN SPACE A space-travelling couple, wearing goggles to protect their eyes from sunlight unfiltered by atmosphere, look out on a 1929 conception of a satellite. This picture by Paul illustrated a three-part satellite community consisting of living quarters (centre), an observatory (left) and a solar power-plant. Weightless electric cables extend from the power-plant to the other two.
