Summary:	"This book assesses the scientific haul of data from the Venus and Mars missions and examines the engineering techniques and the science packages used, as well as the difficulties which ruined several missions. The book is illustrated with photographs taken by Soviet Venus and Mars probes, and with material from the program that has only come to light in recent years, such as pictures of the spacecraft, diagrams of the flight paths and landing techniques and maps of the landing sites."--Jacket.
