What is Planetary Encounters: The Future Of Unmanned Spaceflight about?
This book discusses some of the early unmanned probes to earth's neighbors in the solar system and beyond. The author surveys those plans and possibilities based on the success of the Mars Viking Project and the Pioneer probes. Planetary Encounters covers those journeys in nontechnical language and brings us valuable information that will set the stage for future and closer encounters with the planets. Venus, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the outer planets and their moons, comets, asteroids, and the stars are covered in 13 chapters.
