ITU Handbook on Satellite CommunicationsAn 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,... | | The Moon's Near Side Megabasin and Far Side Bulge (SpringerBriefs in Astronomy)
Since Luna and Lunar Orbiter photographed the far side of the Moon, the mysterious dichotomy between the face of the Moon as we see it from Earth and the side of the Moon that is hidden has puzzled lunar scientists. As we learned more from the Apollo sample return missions and later robotic satellites, the puzzle literally deepened, showing... | | Computer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images: An Introduction
Environmental remote sensing is the measurement, from
a distance, of the spectral features of the Earth’s surface
and atmosphere. These measurements are normally
made by instruments carried by satellites or aircraft, and
are used to infer the nature and characteristics of the
land or sea surface, or of the atmosphere, at the... |

Communications Satellites: Global Change Agents (Telecommunications Series)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 they... | | The Story of the Solar SystemThe Sun, its nine planets and their satellites, the asteroids and the comets – together, these are the elements that comprise the Solar System. In this book we shall meet them in detail. We shall come to know their properties, their place in the Solar System, what they look like and how they compare with one another. We will learn what they... | | Imaging Beyond the Pinhole Camera (Computational Imaging and Vision)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... |

Foundations of Modern Cosmology
Recent discoveries in astronomy, especially those made with data collected by satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, have revolutionized the science of cosmology. These new observations offer the possibility that some long-standing mysteries in cosmology might be answered, including such... | | Tools of Radio Astronomy (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)
This 6th edition of “Tools of Radio Astronomy”, the most used introductory text in radio astronomy, has been revised to reflect the current state of this important branch of astronomy. This includes the use of satellites, low radio frequencies, the millimeter/sub-mm universe, the Cosmic Microwave Background and the increased... | | Learning Programming using MATLAB (Synthesis Lectures on Electrical Engineering)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... |
