From the reviews:

Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2013

Ulivi and Harland remedy this by providing rich, detailed overviews of Cassini, the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, and a number of less-well-known missions, such as Stardust. ... The book features many illustrations, including images from the missions themselves, diagrams of the trajectories followed, and schematics of the spacecraft. ... The book is well-researched and documented and is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the exploration of Earth's solar system. ... Summing Up: Essential. All space history collections. (C. Palma, Choice, Vol. 50 (7), March, 2013)
