On June 10, 2003, a little rover named Spirit blasted off on a rocket headed for Mars. On July 7, 2003, a twin rover named Opportunity soared through the solar system with the same mission: to find out if Mars ever had water that could have supported life.A thrilling addition to the acclaimed Scientists in the Field series, The Mighty Mars Rovers tells the greatest space robot adventure of all time through the eyes—and heart—of Steven Squyres, professor of astronomy at Cornell University and lead scientist on the mission.
The Mighty Mars Rover: The Incredible Adventures of Spirit and Opportunity was listed in ALA Notable Books for Children in 2012 and was named one of the Top Ten Science and Health Books for Youth 2012 (Booklist)
