Summary

Description

Landing spacecraft on Mars is difficult and risky. The planet’s surface is riddled with rocks and craters, and sometimes the technology on a landing craft fails. Learn about the dangers spacecraft face as they land, past successes and failures, and the solutions scientists have come up with so that one day, landings may be safe enough for humans to travel to Mars.

Critic Reviews

"Human exploration of Mars is a high interest topic, and each title in this series covers a different aspect of efforts toward this goal. . .Recommended to expand and update collections with the latest projects in space exploration." —School Library Journal
