From Wikipedia Farmer In The Sky is a 1953 science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein about a teenaged boy who emigrates with his family to Jupiter's moon Ganymede, which is in the process of being terraformed. A condensed version of the novel was published in serial form in 1950 in Boys' Life magazine (August, September, October, November 1950), under the title "Satellite Scout".

Heinlein", noting the publication of the earlier condensed Boy's Life version, but the title page of the first edition hardcover states "1953, New York, Charles Scribners Sons". The novel was awarded with the Retro Hugo in 2001.
