PDF-(EBOOK)-Discovering Mars: A History of Observation and Exploration of the Red Planet

For millenia humans have considered Mars the most fascinating planet in our solar system Weve watched this Earthlike world first with the naked eye then using telescopes and most recently through robotic orbiters and landers and rovers on the surface Historian William Sheehan and astronomer and planetary scientist Jim Bell combine their talents to tell a unique story of what weve learned by studying Mars through evolving technologies What the eye sees as a mysterious red dot wandering through the sky becomes a blurry mirage of apparent seas continents and canals as viewed through Earthbased telescopes Beginning with the Mariner and Viking missions of the 1960s and 1970s spacebased instruments and monitoring systems have flooded scientists with data on Marss meteorology and geology and have even sought evidence of possible existence of lifeforms on or beneath the surface This knowledge has transformed our perception of the Red Planet and has provided clues for better understanding our own blue worldDiscovering Mars vividly conveys the way our understanding of this other planet has grown from earliest times to the present The story is epic in scopean Iliad or Odyssey for our time at least so far largely without the folly greed lust and tragedy of those ancient stories Instead the narrative of our quest for the Red Planet has showcased some of our species most hopeful attributes curiosity cooperation exploration and the restless drive to understand our place in the larger universe Sheehan and Bell have written an ambitious first draft of that narrative even as the latest chapters continue to be added both by researchers on Earth and our robotic emissaries on and around Mars including the latest the Perseverance rover and its Ingenuity helicopter drone which set down in Marss Jezero Crater in February 2021.

Space exploration has always been about pushing boundaries, but perhaps the achievement which has most piqued a sense of possibility has been the exploration of Mars. Beginning with Soviet and American flybys in the early 1960s that were part and parcel of the Space Race, acclaimed space historian Piers Bizony continues through complete coverage of the Viking 1 and 2 missions of 1975–1976. Bizony also traces NASA’s acclaimed rover program, describing the development, technologies, mission histories, and achievements of the rovers Sojourner, Opportunity, Spirit, and Curiosity—all on the 25th anniversary of their first landing. This awe-inspiring book features:An engaging and complete history of Mars explorationA treasure trove of imagery from the NASA archives, including photos and cartography beamed home, artworks and concept drawings created during development phases, as well as photography created to document testing phasesA glimpse of future plans for Mars exploration and habitationCoverage of orbiters sent to the red planet by not only NASA but by space agencies from Russia, India, Japan, Europe, China, and the UAEA two-sided 24-inch gatefoldHumankind’s fascination with Mars can be traced back to prewar science fiction. While the billions of dollars and ingenious innovations have allowed us incredible views from more than 51 million miles away, no less incredible are the insights these missions, hardware, and scientists have provided into our universe—and our own planet. NASA Missions to Mars is your complete illustrated history of those efforts and a necessary volume for the bookshelf of any space enthusiast! Mars is the forth planet from the . sun. Mars has two moons in orbit. The names of the moons are called Phobos and Deimos. Mars is currently 218.27 million KMs from the sun. Mars’ diameter is 6,779kms. GR090051. GRIP BIOLOGY ACTIVITY.
