Product Description

Synopsis
This work takes the reader on a fantastic voyage - strolling on mars with the spirit and opportunity robot missions. The cream of the astonishing crop of photographs brought back by the Spirit and Opportunity Mars missions - revealed in their true glory for the first time. The most fantastic of all journeys - the Spirit and Opportunity robot missions to the surface of Mars - produced over 150 000 astonishing photographs. While these images were made available on low-resolution computer screens as they were beamed across millions of space miles, no-one had done the painstaking work of editing, cropping and processing the massive pictures for a true photographic form. Until now. Jim Bell, the scientist and photographer who controlled the image team on the Roving Mars missions, has fully processed 150 of the best images they generated. With his unique perspective, these photographs take readers from the launch of the robots to the alien landscape they discovered and the mysteries of the Red Planet they have helped to solve.

Four of the most impressive pictures are presented in their entirety as gatefold images extending over three feet in width - providing a view of the surface of another planet unprecedented in detail and clarity. It is an unimaginable opportunity to walk the surface of another world.
