Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto by Alan Stern, David Grinspoon

5.0

In July 2015, the New Horizons space probe reached Pluto after a 10-year voyage and sent back the first clear pictures of our Solar System’s outermost neighbor. This is the inside story of how it happened, written by the scientists involved—but you don’t need to be an astronomer to enjoy this story. This book is exceptionally easy to read and understand, and provides fantastic insight into what it actually took to get this unlikely space mission off the ground. A must-read for fans of space exploration!
