Full Description
The Moon offers humanity a site from which to understand our origins, and a springboard—both technologically and strategically—for exploration of the moons of Mars and beyond. This book takes you on the journey of peering into one of humanity's most significant missions to space; the Artemis project. Taking humans back to the Moon and beyond, NASA's Artemis mission promises to provide a beach head for ventures to the small but scientifically important celestial worlds.
The icy Galilean satellites of Jupiter display varied and exotic landscapes foundational to our understanding of the icy worlds in the outer system. Further sites of exploration and study include Saturn's moons Titan, Enceladus, Iapetus and others; all of which are discussed! This book will take you beyond the gas giants by getting a chance to see how hot spots for scientists and tourist encompass ice volcanoes, vast glacial flows, and the tallest cliffs in the solar system.
