“The last book printed by the famous Pentland Press of Edinburgh, before completely burning to the ground making this book highly sought. Here is Dr. Bergrun's ultra-rare material in which he reveals that NASA's Voyager I and II space-probes captured photographs of an estimated 7,000-mile-long elliptical (cigar-shaped) craft orbiting in the rings of Saturn. Bergrun pioneered the methodology of thermal ice prevention design. He is credited with roll-stability laws for airplanes and missiles. At Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, Bergrun was manager of test planning and analysis for the Polaris Underwater Launch Missile System and evaluated satellite system applications. Bergrun appears on the wall of Honor Level as "Air and Space Friend" at the National Air and Space Museum.”
