Bringing together a wealth of information from many sources,
including some material never before published, this atlas is a
comprehensive reference on lunar exploration. It tells the story of
every spacecraft mission to the Moon since the dawn of the space
age, illustrating each account with a unique combination of maps
and annotated photographs. Many of the illustrations were created
especially for this atlas, including panoramic photographs from
every lunar mission. The missions are listed in chronological
order, providing readers with an easy to follow history of lunar
missions. Special attention has been given to describing the
processes involved in choosing landing sites for Apollo and its
precursors. The atlas also includes missions that were planned but
never flown, before looking ahead to future missions as the world's
space agencies prepare for a new phase of lunar exploration.
