The mighty Mars rovers : the incredible adventures of Spirit and Opportunity / by Elizabeth Rusch.
In the summer of 2003, two little rovers named Spirit and Opportunity blasted off on rockets headed for Mars with a singular mission: to find out if Mars ever had water that could have supported life. This book tells the greatest space robot adventure of all time through the eyes--and heart--of Steven Squyres, lead scientist on the mission, capturing the suspense and emotion felt during the adventures of the two tough rovers.
