Abstract

    Frank Cepollina began his career in the space industry designing satellites to explore the new frontier of space. After earning a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Santa Clara, he spent time in the Army Security Agency in Warrenton, Virginia. In 1963 he joined the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and was assigned to the Advanced Orbiting Solar Observatory project for the development of space-based observatories to continuously monitor solar activity and its influence on the space environment in the neighborhood of the Earth. At that time the 5-year-old agency, and to a large extent the entire American space industry, was ascending a steep learning curve. In 1965 this project was split up into a number of less ambitious challenges.
