- Summary
- COI synopsis: Kettering Boys’ School has been tracking satellites for the past twenty years and has a few world scoops to its credit. Now the School is recognised as an official tracking station. The boys’ efforts have been so astonishing that even Sir Harry Massey, the eminent Australian astro-physicist keeps up with their efforts. Sir Harry’s most recent visit prompts his country woman, Vicki Luke, to join him to see how a handful of youngsters keep the experts on their toes.
