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. 517 3 $aPlanetary Landers & Entry Probes 606 $aRoving vehicles (Astronautics) 606 $aSpace probes 606 $aSpace vehicles$xDesign and construction 606 $aSpace vehicles$xControl systems 606 $aPlanets$xExploration 615 0$aRoving vehicles (Astronautics) 615 0$aSpace probes. 615 0$aSpace vehicles$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aSpace vehicles$xControl systems. 615 0$aPlanets$xExploration. 676 $a629.046 700 $aBall$b Andrew J$g(Andrew Jonathan),$f1972-$01047540 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457165403321 996 $aPlanetary landers and entry probes$92475138 997 $aUNINA
