Missing Men of Saturn is a juvenile science fiction novel, published first in 1953, by astronomer and author Robert S. Richardson (as Philip Latham) with cover illustration by Alex Schomburg.
Missing Men of Saturn is a part of the Winston Science Fiction set of juvenile novels.
[1] Dale Sutton, a recent graduate from the Space Academy, is assigned to the Albatross, a decrepit old spaceship.
When the Albatross reaches Saturn's moon Titan, the superstitious fears of the crew are realized as equipment begins to disappear, and eventually people.
"[2] P. Schuyler Miller identified it as the best of the early run of Winston juveniles, citing both its scientific accuracy and the relatively realistic stature of its hero.
