Description

From the publisher blurb:

Dozens of worlds, deadly radiation belts, beautiful ring systems, a wealth of fuel and resources, all crammed into a volume that Neil Armstrong’s Apollo capsule could cross in a week. Inconceivable fortunes, and adventure beyond imagining, await in that crowded sky - but every opportunity brings dangers, and even the simplest operation means facing down lethal hazards. Drawing on the real-world exploration of the bizarre moons of Saturn and Jupiter, as well as recent exoplanet discoveries around other stars, Moons of Gas Giants covers:
