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. . 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aPlanetary science 606 $aSpace sciences 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aPlanetary science. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 676 $a523.43 700 $aByrne$b Charles J.$f1935-$0814128 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418449003316 996 $aTravels with curiosity$92275315 997 $aUNISA
