Description
From a long-term planning lead for the Mars Exploration Rover Project comes this vivid insider account of some of NASA’s most vital and exciting missions to the Red Planet, illustrated with full-colour photographs—a wondrous chronicle of unprecedented scientific discovery and the search for evidence of life on Mars.
Dr Larry Crumpler is currently the Research Curator of Volcanology and Space Science at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. As the long-term planning lead for the Mars Exploration Rover Project, during daily telecons Crumpler helped control and define the ongoing activities of the rovers on Mars. He is also a member of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter science team using the rover like a remote field geologist to map the geology along the rover’s traverse. A location on the planet—“Larry’s Lookout”—was named after Dr Crumpler in honour of his contributions to the Mars missions. He lives in Albuquerque.
