In 2003, NASA launched two Mars Exploration Rovers named "Spirit" & "Opportunity" on a voyage of discovery to the Red Planet. Both Rovers had a projected lifetime on Mars of just 90 days in which to collect scientific data and photographs. The Rovers excelled in every respect and worked on the Martian surface for many years. This series of volumes records the travels of one of those Mars Rovers - named "Opportunity".

These lavishly illustrated volumes are created from the sol by sol (day by day) logs provided to us all by the NASA web sites along with the photographs taken by the different cameras on Opportunity.

Two volumes are currently available:
Volume 1 - records the period from the launch in 2003 to the time when Opportunity emerged from its travels in Endurance Crater in 2004.
Volume 2 - records the period from the start of 2005 when Opportunity left Endurance Crater to its arrival at Victoria Crater at the end of 2006.
Volume 3 - yet to be produced.

All profits from this series of books will be donated to third world projects.

Copies of the books can be obtained direct from the printers HERE. Hardbacked versions will also be made available.
