He then outlines the historic landing by Apollo 11 in terms of what was discovered, and how over the next several missions the program was progressively geared up to enable the final three missions each to spend three days on comprehensive geological investigations. He concludes with a review of the robotic spacecraft that made remote-sensing observations of the Moon. Although aimed at the enthusiast, and can be read as an adventure in exploration, the book develops the scientific theme of lunar geology, and therefore will be of use as background reading for undergraduate students of planetary sciences. In addition, with the prospect of a resumption of human missions, it will help journalists understand what Apollo achieved after the ‘flags and footprints‘ of the Apollo 11 landing in July 1969 and will commemorate the fortieth anniversary of that momentous event.. | 出版日期 | Book 2008Latest edition | 关键词 | Apollo; Edition; Expedition; Exploring; Planet; spaceflight | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-74641-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-74638-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-74641-8 | copyright | Praxis 2008 |
