This book provides a record of the journeys of spacecraft to all the planets in the solar system. This edition has been updated with pictures from the repaired Hubble telescope. The planets (except the remotest, Pluto) have all been studied at close range. Television astronomer Patrick Moore provides commentaries on the missions right from the very start of the space age, and brings together dramatic views of these distant worlds, selected from American and Russian sources. This book also presents information on the astronauts and technicians involved and gives glimpses of the extraordinary conditions found on these worlds in outer space.
