Long description:
This third volume of the award-winning The International Atlas of Mars Exploration picks up the story where Volume 2 left off, after the first Martian year of Curiosity's mission in 2014. Covering the exploration of Mars from 2015 to 2021 and supported by a unique set of detailed annotated maps and graphics, this volume documents the activities of Opportunity, Curiosity, InSight,&&&160;China's rover Zhurong,&&&160;and the early activities of Mars 2020. This essential visual reference chronicles the day-to-day operations of each mission, recording future landing site planning, how landing sites were chosen and what happened during each mission. Like the previous volumes, the atlas is accessible to space enthusiasts, but the bibliography and meticulous detail make it a particularly valuable resource for academic researchers and students working in planetary science and planetary mapping.
'I am very pleased to read the third volume of The International Atlas of Mars Exploration, edited by Dr Phil Stooke. The book provides a detailed account of international Mars exploration activities over the past decade, especially lander missions, which resonates with me greatly. The numerous exquisite illustrations and precise descriptions in the book rekindle my desire to revisit the history of Mars lander/rover&&&160;missions. First and foremost, I think this is an excellent reference book that will be very helpful for my teaching work. Additionally, for young readers, it provides a systematic way to follow the milestones of international Mars exploration along a timeline, including how exploration missions are planned, how landing sites are chosen, what&&&160;challenges and difficulties can be encountered during mission implementation, and how engineering teams can overcome these obstacles, among other topics. This will certainly enhance young readers' understanding of history, expand their knowledge, and inspire their passion for space&&&160;exploration.' Xiao Long, China University of Geosciences
