Editorial Review Product Description In 1964 the United States of America launched Mariner 4 towards Marsin the hope that a handful of pictures returned by the spacecraftmight answer some age-old questions. Was there an ancient Martiancivilization? Would there be any signs of life? So began the firststep in a close examination of our neighboring planet. Between Mariner 4 and Mars Global Surveyor in 1998 the United Stateshas sent a fleet of robots to Mars with wildly varying degrees ofsuccess. Thanks to these versatile probes we now know almost as muchabout Mars on a global scale as we do about our own Earth. In Mars The NASA Mission Reports the triumphs and tribulations of theAmerican Mars program is gathered together in one place. Press Kitsand Mission Reports from every Mars mission are collected together forthe first time. Reading these documents presented here in chronological order gives afascinating insight into how our understanding of the Red planet hasgrown over the past four decades. These robot voyages are the advanceguard, scouting out the path for the day when men will launch a mannedmission to Mars. Includes: Windows CD-ROM featuring:The following complete NASA special publications: The DifficultRoad To Mars - Mars Exploration In The Soviet Union, On Mars1958-1978, Mariner Mars 1964 Final Project Report,Mariner 6 & 7 Pictures Of Mars, The New MarsTheDiscoveries Of Mariner 9, VikingMission To Mars,Viking Orbiter Views Of Mars, EMPIRE - Background &Initial Dual-Planet Mission StudiesNASA movies in MPG video format: Planet Mars, 19 MinutesTo Earth and Mars - The Search Begins.Also includes animations and a 360 Quicktime Panorama from MarsPathfinder as well as hundreds of pictures from every NASA Marsmission.The NASA Mission Reports is a series of books that will include all ofthe Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Space Shuttle, InternationalSpace Station and Selected Unmanned Missions. While most of Godwin's NASA books focus on a particular mission (e.g.,Apollo 13 and Gemini 6), the Mars bookchronologically surveys every single mission that's been mounted to the redplanet, from the 1964 launch of Mariner 4 to the more current Pathfinder and Mars Global Surveyor encounters. And it's this breadth that makes the book a standout even in this excellent series. Not only can you marvel at the 16K flight computer on 1975's Centaur and the much more impressive hardware on the MGS, but you can even see the quality of NASA's press materials evolve. (When's the last time you saw a diagram with a typewritten legend?) With NASA press kits for all the probes and a choice assortment of the moreinteresting mission reports, Godwin has assembled an authoritative,blow-by-blow resource for serious space buffs. And good news on the"Windows" CD-ROM that's included: Since the files are primarily mpegs, jpegs, and html, readers can access the CD and its hour and a half of vintage video from just about any platform. --Paul Hughes Customer Reviews (12)

Interesting Quest
Fine reproductions of pre-Space Age images Until the second half of the nineteenth century, these depictions of space vehicles, other worlds, and their possible inhabitants were wildly fanciful.After Jules Verne, improved astronomical observations and better engineering made these visions increasingly recognizable for those who grew up with the Space Age.The book, which includes photographs of early rocket experiments, ends with an extensive section on the 1950's, covering the ideas of Wernher von Braun and illustrated withpaintings by Chesley Bonestell and Fred Freeman. Readers may wonder why there are no visions from non-western cultures; were none sufficiently interesting, or do they really not exist? The foreword by Arthur C.Clarke is disappointingly flippant.
Well done
Excellent Historical Collection From our perspective today many of these paintings look very quaint, though when they were first published they must have appeared very futuristic. Buy this book for it's historical and art value, not for scientific accuracy.

Editorial Review Product Description The scientific objective of the mission is to determine the globalresponse of the magnetosphere to variations in the solar wind. Thisbook, which should be of interest to researchers on the global aspectsof magnetospheric physics, describes the latest results of themission. Included are discoveries of many new aspects of the dynamicsof the plasma sheet, ring current, plasmasphere, and proton aurora,which reveal a much more direct connection of the inner magnetosphereto the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field than waspreviously considered. |
