Solar System Moons: Discovery and Mythology

Springer, 2009

Starting from Mars outward this concise handbook provides thorough information on the satellites of the planets in the solar system. Each chapter begins with a section on the discovery and the naming of the planet’s satellites or rings. This is followed by a section presenting the historic sources of those names. The book contains tables...

Machine Learning and Data Mining in Aerospace Technology (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2019

This book explores the main concepts, algorithms, and techniques of Machine Learning and data mining for aerospace technology. Satellites are the ‘eagle eyes’ that allow us to view massive areas of the Earth simultaneously, and can gather more data, more quickly, than tools on the ground. Consequently, the...

Onboard Computers, Onboard Software and Satellite Operations: An Introduction (Springer Aerospace Technology)

Springer, 2011

The development of satellites is always driven by their applications, so the payload and its satellite infrastructure can fulfill all envisioned tasks and sometimes this is under great autonomy. The brain of the satellite is the Onboard Computer with the Onboard Software providing functions, procedures and services in preparation for the...

Satellite Technology: Principles and Applications

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Offering readers a concise and yet comprehensive reference, Satellite Technology provides a unique coverage of both the principles and applications in this wide field. This book covers the technological and application aspects of satellites in one volume, ensuring not only extensive coverage of communications-related applications of...

Spacecraft Power Systems

CRC Press, 2004

The first man-made satellite was Sputnik I, launched and operated by Russia in the low Earth orbit in 1957. In the decade that followed, the American space exploration programs launched many Earth orbiting satellites. The first commercial geosynchronous satellite, Intelsat-1, was placed in orbit in 1965, and, in 1969, NASA’s Apollo-11 became...

Wireless Communications Design Handbook: Space Interference

Academic Press, 1998

During the decade of the !970s and even in the early 1980s, satellite communications was basically analog (though digital was already in the drawing board), and most satellites were huge, bulky, and in geosynchronous orbit. Most of the satellites in lower orbits were either military or scientific in nature~ Things have changed within the past five...

Low Earth Orbital Satellites for Personal Communication Networks (Artech House Mobile Communications Library)

Artech House Publishers, 1997

This is the first comprehensive analysis of one of the hottest topics in communication systems today -- the application of low earth orbital (LEO) satellites in personal communication networks (PCNs). LEO satellites are the most promising tools for establishing global PCNs and yet their use can be problematic.

The book describes the...

Communications Satellites: Global Change Agents (Telecommunications Series)

Routledge, 2004

Over the past 40 years, satellites have played a key role in creating a global culture, spreading worldwide entertainment, stimulating technological interchange, and promoting trade around the world. Communications Satellites: Global Change Agents addresses communications satellites not only in terms of the technology and the services...

Learning Programming using MATLAB (Synthesis Lectures on Electrical Engineering)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2007

Why learn programming? There are several answers to that. Computers are ubiquitous—your car, your mp3 player, the orbiting satellites which provide us with the ability to communicate and the automatic coffee maker all use a computer of some sort. Andcomputers require programming to function. Knowing how to program provides us with a bit of...

Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing

CRC Press, 2006

Most data from satellites are in image form, thus most books in the remote sensing field deal exclusively with image processing. However, signal processing can contribute significantly in extracting information from the remotely sensed waveforms or time series data. Pioneering the combination of the two processes, Signal and Image Processing for...

Imaging Beyond the Pinhole Camera (Computational Imaging and Vision)

Springer, 2007

The world's first photograph was taken in 1826 using a pinhole camera, known as camera obscura. The camera obscura, the basic projection model of pinhole cameras, was already known in China more than 2500 years ago. Cameras used since this first photograph are basically following the pinhole camera principle. The quality of projected images...

ITU Handbook on Satellite Communications

John Wiley & Sons, 2002

An essential overview of satellite communications from the organization that sets the international standards

Since their introduction in the mid-1960s, satellite communications have grown from a futuristic experiment into an integral part of today’s "wired world." Satellite communications are at the core of a global,...
