Paolo Ulivi and David Harland provide in "Robotic Exploration of
the Solar System" a detailed history of unmanned missions of
exploration of our Solar System As in their previous book Lunar
Exploration, the subject will be treated wherever possible from an
engineering and scientific standpoint. Technical descriptions of
the spacecraft, of their mission designs and of instrumentations
will be provided. Scientific results will be discussed in
considerable depth, together with details of mission
management.
The books will cover missions from the 1950s until the present
day, and some of the latest missions and their results will appear
in a popular science book for the first time. The authors will also
cover many unflown projects, providing an indication of the ideas
that proved to be unfulfilled at the time but which may still be
proven and useful in the future.
Just like Lunar Exploration, these books will use sources only
recently made available on the Soviet space program, in addition to
some obscure and rarely used references on the European space
program.
The project will deliver three volumes totaling over 1000 pages
that will provide comprehensive coverage of the topic with
thousands of references to the professional literature that should
make it the 'first port of call' for people seeking information on
the topic.
