A talk given by Ezzy Pearson to the Herefordshire Astronomical Society on 4th February 2021.
For the last 50 years, humanity has been sending robotic emissaries to traverse their way across other worlds - from rovers on the surface of the Moon and Mars, to balloons bobbing through the skies of Venus. Ezzy takes us on a tour through the history of these mobile explorers, from the Soviet lunar rovers of the 1970s all the way through to the exciting new drones and submarines that could be yet to come.
Ezzy Pearson is the News Editor of BBC Sky at Night Magazine. Ezzy's love affair with space began in a field in Cornwall, aged 7, when she looked up at the Milky Way for the first time. Ever since, she’s been attempting to cram in every fact about the Universe she can find into her head. Her first book about the history of robotic planetary landers was published by The History Press in October last year.
