The Sky Network | Science Book (Ages 8–12)

Far above our heads, hundreds of silent machines orbit Earth—taking pictures, sending signals, predicting weather, and connecting people across the planet. But how do they stay up there without falling? How do they talk to us from space? And what happens when one stops working? This engaging and fact-filled book invites curious kids to explore the incredible world of satellites—the hidden helpers that make modern life possible. From early experiments that barely worked to today’s high-tech eyes watching Earth’s every move, readers will uncover the science, teamwork, and creativity behind one of humanity’s greatest inventions. Packed with real-world examples, it explains how satellites predict storms, guide airplanes, connect phones, and even help save lives during disasters. Readers will learn about GPS constellations, solar panels, orbit types, and the future of space technology—all explained in a way that’s easy to understand and exciting to read. Perfect for ages 7 to 12, this book turns science into an adventure, showing how space exploration isn’t just about rockets and astronauts—it’s about the incredible machines quietly circling our planet, changing the way we live every single day. The story of satellites is a story of discovery, innovation, and the boundless power of curiosity.
