This is the story of one of the most important satellites ever launched into space, told by curator Doug Millard and the people who were there when it launched.

Love this :) But i just came looking for an answer to my question: What will happen if we put a mercury thermometer in space? Will it just not work or show 0°C..?

Theoretically.. this is a theoretical model. How much money did you put into this?? This is going to be replaced with much better technology soon. What a waste. Jesus Christ!
