An insider's look at the Mars Exploration Rover mission from the scientific principal investigator behind it that "provides you-are-there thrills and chills you can't get anywhere else" ( The San Francisco Chronicle ). "Fascinating insights into our exploration of Mars. For now, this is as close to the Red Planet as you can get!" —Sir Arthur C. Clarke In Roving Mars, Steve Squyres, principal scientist for the Mars Exploration Rover mission, shares his gripping account of life at the center of one of the greatest explorations of all time. Since 1977, Squyres had dreamed of exploring Mars, and after nearly two decades of planning, he got his chance. With hundreds of other scientists and engineers, Squyres worked to build and launch two rovers named Spirit and Opportunity, and then guide them on Mars. Spirit and Opportunity faced tremendous obstacles, but they beat the odds and everyone's expectations, giving Squyres and his team the chance to make unparalleled discoveries about Mars and its potential for life. Through more than a decade of ups, downs, triumphs, dead ends, politics, and even utter confusion, what shines through Roving Mars is a thrilling tale of adventure and drama at the frontiers of exploration. "An exceptional story, exceptionally well-told . . . Squyres joins Carl Sagan and Stephen Jay Gould in the pantheon of scientists who successfully popularized their disciplines." — The Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Squyres's enthusiasm for exploring Mars shines brightly." — Booklist

Beginning in 2004, a team of geologists and other planetary scientists did field science in a dark room in Pasadena, exploring Mars from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) by means of the remotely operated Mars Exploration Rovers (MER). Clustered around monitors, living on Mars time, painstakingly plotting each movement of the rovers and their tools, sensors, and cameras, these scientists reported that they felt as if they were on Mars themselves, doing field science. The MER created a virtual experience of being on Mars. This book examines how the MER has changed the nature of planetary field science. NASA cast the rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, as "robotic geologists," and ascribed machine initiative to remotely controlled actions. Clancey argues that the actual explorers were not the rovers but the scientists, who imaginatively projected themselves into the body of the machine to conduct the first overland expedition of another planet. The author investigates how the design of the rover mission enables field science on Mars, explaining how the scientists and rover engineers manipulate the vehicle and why the programmable tools and analytic instruments work so well for them.
