"Started in the early 1990s to provide opportunities for small, relatively simple planetary science missions, NASA's Discovery Program has funded a series of focused and innovative missions to investigate the planets and small bodies of our solar system. This book draws on interviews with program managers, engineers, and scientists and takes an in-depth look at the management techniques they used to design creative and cost-effective spacecraft that continue to yield valuable scientific data"--
