"To Reach the High Frontier details the histories of the various launch vehicles developed in the United States since the birth of the space age in 1957." "This book presents case studies in the history of all the major rockets built by the United States. Each study has been written by a specialist knowledgeable about the vehicle described and places each system in the larger context of the history of space flight. To Reach the High Frontier promises to aid in the effort to resolve the launch vehicle problem, offering a comprehensive history and analysis of rocket development and suggesting remarkable new directions for future efforts."--BOOK JACKET.
