Los vehículos espaciales

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 translated into North American Spanish, 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, and an index support readers in grade 2 and up.
