Did you know robots beat humans to space by 10 years?
In this book, you'll learn how robots can work as our eyes, ears, and hands in space. As part of the Searchlight BooksTM collection, this series explores outer space and sheds light on the question What’s Amazing about Space?
The first brown dwarf sits at a distance quite far from Epsilon Indi, well beyond the equivalent orbits of the major planets in the Earth's solar system. The second brown dwarf circles the first. Brown dwarfs are substellar objects ...
Explains different types of space robots and their uses.
There's no air in space. But robots don't care! Learn more about how these mechanical robonauts can help us understand more about the solar system in which we live.
Robots help us understand our universe. Some fly to distant planets. Others work alongside astronauts in space. And some drive across the surface of Mars. How do these robots work, and what are they doing today? Read this book to find out!
Curiosity, the robot geologist, is one in a long line of robots that have visited some of our solar system's most inhospitable places. In this fascinating title, we look at space robots from the past and those at work today.
