Robots in space : the secret lives of our planetary explorers / by Pearson, Elizabeth,(Astrophysicist)Author(DLC)nb2015009313;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 280-282) and index.One small step for a robot, one giant leap for mankind. For the first time in history, it's not humans who are leading the way to the unknown but our mechanical envoys--robots. Space sparks the imagination in fantastic ways, but nothing quite captures people's attention more than when we actually reach out and touch another world. Whether it's sending missions to the Moon, transporting rovers to trundle around Mars, or landing Philae on a comet, the idea that we can not only picture these worlds from afar, but to touch them is wonderfully inspiring, and it is through cutting-edge robotic technology that it is made possible. Robots have traveled throughout our solar system. They've landed on Venus, dived into the atmosphere of Jupiter, and driven through the tail of a comet. In Robots in Space, expert space journalist Dr Ezzy Pearson delves into the fascinating robotic history of space exploration, from distant times when stars were an unreachable godly mystery, through the intense Space Race following World War II, to the Mars missions of the 21st century. As we find ourselves on the cusp of a new and exciting space age, Pearson explores how and why humanity turns its best minds to traveling to the stars, and exactly how far we could go.

The boy who reached for the stars : a memoir / by Morillo, Elio,1993-author.(CARDINAL)874579; Molinari, Cecilia,author.(CARDINAL)788505;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-197).Introduction -- Launchpad: from Ecuador to the unknown -- Landing site selection: New York -- Pad reconstruction: Puerto Rico and the kindness of strangers -- Ground support: Adverse weather conditions -- Load and go: The academic dynamics that shaped my dreams -- Defying initial conditions: Built to be tougher than expected -- Launch vehicle rollout: Developing an empire state of mind -- Final countdown: Education, the silver bullet to poverty -- Liftoff: Skyrocketing to my dreams -- Mission Control Center: The data that helped shape my identity -- Max pressure: Inching closer to real-world results -- Cruise phrase: Mastering engineering while monitoring a family reality -- Trajectory correction: Preparing to reach for the stars -- Entry, descent, and landing: The Rover, the helicopter, and me -- Surface operations: Searching for joy -- Epilogue: Beaming toward a compassionate future."Elio Morillo's life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor: space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human expansion into the solar system and promoting the future of human innovation--from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and equitable access."--
