Not strictly UMSF related, but French-speeking members may be interested in this very good biography of Le Verrier

QUOTE (PhilCo126 @ Nov 4 2008, 12:32 PM)  Paolo Ulivi's " Robotic Exploration of the Solar System - Part 2 - Hiatus and renewal 1983-1996 " is a must have! 535 pages covering Venus Orbiting Imaging Radar, Giotto, Vega, Magellan, Galileo, Ulysses, NEAR, Mars 94/96, Sojourner... to name a few missions! Also Part 1. I have both books, and pre-ordered Part 3 on Amazon. Amount of historic details is astonishing, particularly about Russian probes from 1960's-70's. |

Please note that I am running very late with Part 3 (presently bogged down writing about MERs). It probably won't be available until 2nd half of 2010 -------------------- I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.

We all understand what You mean Doug, but I guess he wanted to highlight the subtitle " From Luna 1 to New Horizons " by putting both spacecraft on the cover. ( New Horiozns being the best looking spacecraft since Voyager )
 The red planet added some color to the cover, but an artist impression of Pluto would have been more fitting for both spacecraft. Just to let You all know I pre-ordered this book on Amazon.fr and will posts a short review as soon as possible... |

You never know, that might *be* an artist's impression of Pluto!
 Maybe we'll find giant massive red-tinged valleys on Pluto once we get there.

Boks are listed long before they are available. Still, should be worth waiting for!

The Human Archaeology of Space: Lunar, Planetary and Interstellar Relics of Exploration
It's a sort of catalog listing archaeological artifacts that have been left behind in space as a result of human exploration, this book describes the remnants of lost satellites, discarded lunar rovers, depleted rockets, and various abandoned spacecrafts. Three parts cover distinct but interconnected issues of lunar, planetary, and interstellar archaeology. In Parts One and Two, individual chapters cover the history of each space mission, along with technical notes and, in some cases, images of the artifacts in question. Curious if the MER "Spirit" is already as such classified  Part Three explores the archaeology of mobile artifacts in the Solar System and the wider galaxy, looking particularly at the problems encountered in attempting a traditional archaeological field survey of artifacts that may remain in motion indefinitely. ISBN-13: 978-0786458592
