The Mars Curiosity Rover is the most sophisticated mobile
laboratory ever deployed on a planet. For over seven years, scores
of investigators have planned its daily route and activities,
poring over the overwhelming images and data and revising our
understanding of planetary surfaces, geology, and potential
habitability. This book takes readers right down to the surface of
Mars, chronicling Curiosity's physical and scientific journey
across the planet's Earth-like, yet strikingly alien vistas.
Through dozens of images and descriptive accounts of the surface,
you will gain a deeper knowledge of the Martian landscape, from the
floor of Gale Crater up to the cliffs of Mount Sharp. Presented at
the end of each chapter are the results and revelations from the
science team spearheading the mission. Like any cross-country road
trip, the rover has hit some unexpected hitches along the way. The
book describes the obstacles faced by the rover and its scientists
over the years and the difficult decisions and careful
experimentation it took to solve them.
