Kritik
"It is a fascinating read ... . Emily does a great job making the book easy to understand ... . I think this is a great book and any engineer who develops (or wants to develop) systems should read it. ... I think this is the only book that I am aware of that presents all the required engineering elements to design and build a complex robot system. ... For experienced engineers it is also useful to read." (David Kohanbash, robotsforroboticists.com, February 2, 2022)
"This book presents an in-depth explanation of how 'the most complex machine ever sent to another planet' works. ... There are in-depth discussions on wheel design and degradation as well as complete listings of the drill and scoop sampling campaign. Beautifully written and illustrated, Ladawalla's essay is truly encyclopaedic." (Richard McKim, The Observatory, Vol. 138 (1267), December, 2018)

"The Design and Engineering of Curiosity is a comprehensive look at how the Mars Curiosity mission became a reality. Lakdawalla, an independent scholar, begins with an overview of the various iterations of the mission, starting with the goal of developing a bigger lander, and shows how the designers converged on the final mission and spacecraft design. ... The book has a broad audience, ranging from general readers to the technical community." (D. B. Spencer, Choice, Vol. 56 (03), 2018)mehr

Emily Lakdawalla is a planetary scientist who came to the discipline with a background as a boots-on-the-ground field geologist. Although not currently performing research, she has served as an interpreter of planetary science for the public through writing and editing the blog for The Planetary Society for nearly seven years. Lakdawalla is also a Contributing Editor to Sky & Telescope magazine and has written numerous articles for The Planetary Society's Planetary Report.

Lakdawalla has been following the Mars Science Laboratory mission closely since its inception, attending all relevant public meetings, including the last three landing site selection meetings and frequently checking in on its progress from the observation deck over the clean room at JPL.
