In this book, you'll learn how robots can work as our eyes, ears, and hands in space. As part of the Searchlight Books™ collection, this series explores outer space and sheds light on the question What’s Amazing about Space?

This book was a little above reading level for my first grader so he just enjoyed looking at the pictures. The pictures are of real satellites and machines with lots of information about space.
