"Asteroids and comets are hard to explore up close. Their low gravity makes it difficult to land on them--and to travel on them without floating away! What if you could turn this disadvantage into an advantage? Learn how engineer Marco Pavone plans to build a rover to bounce across an asteroid"--Back cover.
""Presents facts about the composition and history of exploration of asteroids, comets, and meteors and features large illustrations and photographs."--
