It remains the oldest object still in orbit, so we're using this 65th anniversary to do something celebrate an unsung hero.The designer of Vanguard 1 was Roger Easton who is also the man behind GPS which has absolutely changed life on earth. We interview Roger's son Richard to find out more about both Vanguard 1 and GPS. In 2013 Richard co-authored a book with Eric Frazier called “GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones.”Richard Easton:www.gpsdeclassified.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/RDEIL LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-easton-53a91a13/Full show notes: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/Show notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guests and links to what caught our eye this week.Image Credits: Naval Research LaboratorySpace and Things:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info: https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries: info@andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.

For the past 60 years, following the trail blazed by Sputnik, we’ve put thousands of satellites into orbit, looping sentinels that serve critical functions in modern society, transmitting TV and radio signals, tracking the weather, and providing communications and positioning channels that serve a range of military and civilian needs. In this episode, we talk about one such technology, which has transformed everyday life for the 4billion people – nearly half the globe’s population - who use smartphones. That’s the GPS tracking feature which means most of us couldn’t get lost, even if we wanted to; and which is making good old paper maps (the ones you never could fold right anyway) increasingly obsolete. Join Karen as she speaks with guest Richard Easton, who brings a unique viewpoint on the roots of this innovation, having grown up as the son of a Naval Research Laboratories physicist who led the charge in developing America’s first satellites in the 1950s, in the Silicon Valley of its time. So - get those white jackets on, we’re headed to the lab! (recorded over zoom)
