MARS: A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY
Book ID/图书代码： 02670013B66012
English Summary/英文概要： Now that man has successfully walked on the moon, Mars has become the next frontier for space exploration. Since 1965, when the first Mariner spacecraft sped past Mars and snapped 22 grainy photos, the exploration of the Red Planet has been primarily the domain of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
After many flybys and orbital missions, NASA finally landed on Mars in 1976 with the twin Viking probes. From 1996 through to today, a series of rovers have been sent to Mars, each more sophisticated than the last. Today two rovers are operating on the red sands – Curiosity and Opportunity. In the years that we have been driving across Martian plains, extraordinary discoveries have been made, each more compelling than the last. Ancient rivers, lakes, oceans and valleys have been charted, a landscape that could have supported life. Missions to Mars is a stunning book that offers an unprecedented, insider’s look at how Mars has been explored and how we got to where we are today. It features incredible photos, many of which have never been seen before, and extensive documentation printed on the page.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 既然人类已经成功地登上了月球，火星即将成为下一个太空探索的领域。自1965年以来，当第一艘水手号飞船经过火星并抓拍了22张模糊不清的相片后，对于这颗红色星球的探索便荣升为了美国航天宇航局喷气推进实验室的首要探索项目。
经过多次邻近飞行和轨道任务，NASA最终在1976年凭借双海盗探测器成功着陆火星。从1996年至今日，许许多多的探测器被发射到了火星上，每一个都比之前的更加复杂精良。今日，两个探测器目前正在火星的土壤之上运作---好奇号和机遇号。这些年，我们或许还在火星的平原上驰骋，但无数惊人的发现却已经主义诞生，并且每一个都比前一个更加地吸引着我们。远古河流、湖泊、海洋以及山谷都被图表一一记录，证明着这片土地之上曾有生命存在。《火星探索之旅》是一本极为精彩的书作，为读者们提供了前所未有的内部信息，有关于火星是如何被探索的，以及我们是如何一步步到达那里。书中将附有精彩图片，并且其中许多照片都未曾公开，可以说本书还是一本内容丰富的在印记录文献集。(DC)
