Mars Rover Curiosity

Chief engineer Rob Manning provides a firsthand account of the monumental challenges behind engineering the Mars Rover Curiosity. Tasked with building the most complex and largest spacecraft in history—designed to search for signs of life on Mars—Manning and his NASA team battled technical setbacks, resource constraints, and the immense pressure of a project that couldn't be fully tested on Earth. This engaging narrative details the revolutionary science, innovative engineering, and human persistence that culminated in Curiosity's successful touchdown on Mars on August 5, 2012.
