Lofted into orbit high above the earth, satellites even now are relaying radio and TV signals across thousands of miles of ocean and gathering a wealth of weather information. In years ahead, they may be used to monitor crops and survey mineral resources. In metallurgy, extremely strong and anticorrosive titanium alloys have moved from the launch pad to the machinery of chemical and power plants.
