The Jameson Satellite

The Jameson Satellite is a science fiction short story written by Neil R. Jones (1909–1988). The first story in the Professor Jameson series, it was first published in the July 1931 issue of Amazing Stories. The Jameson Satellite is notable for inspiring Robert Ettinger, "the father of cryonics", who wrote the short story The Penultimate Trump (1948), and the non-fiction book The Prospect of Immortality (1962).

In the story, Professor Jameson builds a rocket and tells his nephew, Douglas, to place his body in the rocket and shoot it out into space after he dies. Douglas follows his instructions. An alien cyborg species known as the Zoromes finds the professor 40 million years later and places his brain into a robot body, reviving him.
