Perry and his students ( who formed the Kettering Group along with some other volunteers worldwide ) continued their satellite tracking work for a number of years, using only inexpensive shortwave radio equipment and painstakingly using the Doppler effect to deduce the satellites ' orbits.

Connections are provided by East Midlands Trains from Wellingborough and Kettering stations.

There was once a Raunds railway station, on the Midland Railway's cross-country line from Kettering to Huntingdon, closed in September 1959, and which gave access to St Ives and Cambridge, though Raunds station was inconveniently sited 1½ miles from the town.

Politics in Kettering has not always been a sedate affair: in 1835 a horrified Charles Dickens, then a young reporter for the Morning Chronicle, watched aghast as a Tory supporter on horseback, intent ( along with others ) on taking control of by-election proceedings, produced a loaded pistol and had to be restrained by his friends from committing murder.
