Mission to Pluto: The First Visit to an Ice Dwarf and the Kuiper Belt (Scientists in the Field) Paperback – June 9, 2020

This product is in awesome condition. Thanks.Reported as lost because it was in a different location than normal. So it wasn't lost after all!

Well-organized. Love the first hand account from the scientists involved in the mission. Wonderful photographs.

Very good book on the Pluto mission. Lots of details and pictures about the mission and the planet. Worthy addition to any library.

A very good overview of one of the most important space missions ever and also why it is not yet close to being over; somehow, i wanted more details, not to make it more technically challenging, but a quick survey of the book reveals more focus on the color coding of pages than color photos from the mission

Bought it for my son. I really enjoyed it

Great book.

AWESOME!!!

Follows the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, gives background on Pluto's discovery and what scientists knew about it in the 80s and 90s, follows the scientists from their earliest ideas to go to Pluto, to the process of developing the mission and the spacecraft for this mission, to the plotting of the trajectory and how it is unfolding now (as of late 2016 when this was written).I had no idea our photographs of Pluto before this mission were so horrible. It is amazing scientists could get any guesses at all from those. The new photos New Horizons is sending back to the way they developed the spacecraft to a realistic picture of how long a project like this takes were all fantastic. My only qualm with the book was that the infographic side panels often just repeated info presented in the text instead of sharing extra info. It felt a teensy bit too repetitive. Other than that, this is a fantastic look at the real life of an astronomer or any scientist working with a space program. It also provides some very recent discoveries about Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, and it helped me better understand the dwarf planet vs real planet thing that went on with Pluto.

Well, there are plenty of nice illustrations. My main disappointment is that it is delivered at a very basic level - but would be OK for a young teenager.
