Space Tech: The Hardware We Use to Explore the Universe

This documentary explores the extraordinary hardware humanity has built to reach into the cosmos, from rockets and probes to landers, rovers and orbiting telescopes. Drawing on the Zenith series, it explains how each machine is engineered to survive the punishing conditions of space and to send discovery back home. It connects the tools of exploration to the questions they help answer about our place in the universe. A clear, engaging primer for anyone curious about the technology of spaceflight.
