Voyage to Jupiter

In 1979, two robotic emissaries from Earth swept past Jupiter and its moons, rewriting the rules of the solar system in just a few weeks. This book, written by a scientist who was there, gives you the mission as it happened: the tension in the control room, the shock when images revealed volcanoes on Io, the ring system no one expected, the overwhelming radiation. Morrison was part of the team that planned these encounters and analyzed the flood of data that followed. His account captures both the meticulous engineering that made it possible and the wonder of discovering that Jupiter was far stranger than anyone had imagined. For anyone curious about how real exploration feels, from the inside, this is a front-row seat to humanity's first close look at the solar system's largest planet.
