Description

Blast off into the cosmos with the latest title in the popular 'How Things Work' series, which includes How Cities Work, How Airports Work, How Trains Work, and How Ships Work—books that reveal the inner workings of familiar places and vehicles.

Featuring fantastic illustrations by James Gulliver Hancock, Lonely Planet Kids How Spaceships Work explores the ultimate vehicles: spaceships. Discover how they operate, what they're used for, and their development throughout history. The book delves into how rockets blast off into space, how people were sent to the Moon and back, and how space centres prepare spaceships and astronauts for amazing adventures across the cosmos. It also examines various types of spacecraft: space stations and satellites orbiting Earth, rovers traversing the surface of Mars, and probes travelling at thousands of miles per second through the outer reaches of the Solar System on incredible journeys of discovery.
