Robotic Exploration of the Solar System: Part 3: Wows and Woes, 1997-2003

In Robotic Exploration of the Solar System, Paolo Ulivi and David Harland provide a comprehensive account of the design and managment of deep-space missions, the spacecraft involved - some flown, others not - their instruments, and their scientific results.
This third volume in the series covers launches in the period 1997 to 2003 and features:
- a chapter entirely devoted to the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn;
- coverage of planetary missions of the period, including the Deep Space 1 mission and the Stardust and Hayabusa sample returns from comets and asteroids;
- extensive coverage of Mars exploration, the failed 1999 missions, Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, and the twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity.
The story will continue in Part 4.
