"The Trouble with Telstar" by John Berryman is a science fiction story written in the early 1960s. The book explores the intricacies and challenges surrounding the operation and repair of communications satellites, using Telstar as a focal point. It dives into the technical aspects of space technology and the political maneuvering within a corporate setting. The narrative follows Mike Seaman, a young test engineer at COMCORP, who finds himself embroiled in a corporate power struggle regarding a failing solenoid in the Telstar satellites. As he navigates through accusations and department politics, Seaman is ultimately thrust into a high-stakes mission to repair the satellites in outer space. Along the way, he faces not only the technical challenges posed by the satellite's malfunctions but also the personal dynamics with his colleagues, including his budding relationship with a secretary named Sylvia. As he undertakes the daunting task of conducting repairs in zero gravity, the story delves into themes of perseverance, ingenuity, and the human spirit's quest against the vastness of space.
