Rezensionen

"This work completes the authors' review of Solar System missions up to about 2013. ... I particularly liked the selection of photographs, both technological and scientific, many of which I had never seen before. ... as source of detailed descriptions of any planetary mission you have heard of, and possibly a few you haven't, it is an excellent reference source." (John Davies, The Observatory, April, 2016)

"Space historians Ulivi and Harland serve up the fourth book in this series on international planetary exploration missions, covering the most recent ten years. Their compendium does a superb job of capturing what seems like 'insider' details of each major mission. ... This fourth volume could stand on its own as a reference for those interested only in modern missions. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. All space history/exploration collections." (T. D. Oswalt, Choice, Vol. 52 (9), May, 2015)
