Book details
Voyage to the Planets Mission Report
Description
Zoe walks across the patchwork of molten lava that forms the surface of Io. Bigger than anything she has ever seen, Jupiter fills the sky. Its Great Red Spot seems fixed on her like an evil eye...Follow Commander Tom Kirby and the crew of the Pegasus on the journey of a lifetime! This book is a space adventure based on real science, using amazing CGI-generated images taken from the TV series to bring the experience of travelling to other planets vividly to life. The body text reads like a classic children's space adventure, but each spread also includes computer-screen style fact boxes. These are integrated into the narrative as 'briefings' from Mission Control, and contain masses of hard factual information about the places the astronauts visit and the technology they use to survive.
