This book provides a concise but broad overview of the engineering,
science and flight history of planetary landers and atmospheric
entry probes designed to explore the atmospheres and surfaces of
other planets. It covers engineering aspects specific to such
vehicles which are not usually treated in traditional spacecraft
engineering texts. Examples are drawn from over thirty different
lander and entry probe designs that have been used for lunar and
planetary missions since the early 1960s. The authors provide
detailed illustrations of many vehicle designs from different
international space programs, and give basic information on their
missions and payloads, irrespective of the mission's success or
failure. Several missions are discussed in more detail to
demonstrate the broad range of the challenges involved and the
solutions implemented. This will form an important reference for
professionals, academic researchers and graduate students involved
in planetary science, aerospace engineering and space mission
development.
