Mars: Road Trip

Over 100 pages of carefully selected HD photos, multi-screen panoramas, movies, 3D models, interactive timelines, and more.


An iPad Exclusive. Includes latest Curiosity images from August 27, 2012.


This book includes views of Mars from 1659 to Present including: Huygens’ sketches, Green’s stunningly accurate 1877 map, Lowell’s fanciful canals, and many others, plus 50 years of Nasa orbital images from Mariner, Pathfinder, Surveyor, and Orbiter.


Road trips officially began in 1976 with the Viking landers. 


The iPad is the perfect device to view the spectacular ground level high resolution panoramic mosaics of the Martian surface beginning with 1997 Sojourner (Note the family resemblance: Sojourner looks strikingly like a couple of iPads on wheels).


The Road Trip continues with the rovers Opportunity, Spirit, and Curiosity.  Viewing these panoramas on the iPad is the closest you can get to your very own Mars Road Trip. Swipe through a 360° view, or pinch to zoom in for more detail.
