Books with title Robots in Space

This book looks at space probes and other kinds of robots used in space. Space probes have explored the planet Mars, flown to the asteroid belt and even travelled to the outer planets of our solar system, sending pictures and information back to Earth. With the help of colour photographs and real examples, readers will learn about space technology, robot astronauts, and how important robots have become to space exploration.

Perhaps no environment is more difficult to do research in than space! However, through amazing technology, scientists have found ways to not just study space, but also Earth from space. The main content in this book covers the solar system and other planets, Earths atmosphere, life on the International Space Station, and even more STEM curriculum content. Readers are introduced to the many careers in space science, including details on what astronauts actually do. Incredible full-color photographs illustrate the awesome discoveries scientists have made in space and the latest tools expected to make more discoveries in the future.

Millions of miles from Earth, a very unusual scientist is hard at work exploring the freezing, dusty surface of the planet Mars. 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. What are their missions? What tasks can they do? And how does it feel to be the human here on Earth who controls a high-tech robot on a faraway planet?
