"Venus Equilateral" by George O. Smith is a series of science fiction short stories published between 1942 and 1945. Set at a massive space station positioned at a strategic point between Venus and the Sun, the stories follow communications engineers who solve extraordinary problems through ingenious inventions. Led by Director Donald Channing and his team, the station's crew faces incompetent managers, space pirates, communication crises, and technical disasters—all while maintaining the vital
relay linking Earth, Venus, and Mars across millions of miles of space. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
