A System Engineer's Guide to Building an Earth Observation Camera
Building Earth Observation Cameras discusses the science and
technology of building an electro-optical imaging system for a
space platform from concept to space qualification and in-orbit
evaluation. The book provides a broad overview of various Earth
imaging systems with specific examples illustrating the design and
development issues that impacted the Indian Remote Sensing
Satellite (IRS) cameras, and is based on the actual experience of
the author, who was intimately involved with the development of
cameras for the IRS program.It equips imaging system project
managers, scholars, and researchers with the ability to look deeper
into the systems that they are developing, and arms application
scientists who use satellite imagery with a greater understanding
of the technical aspects and terminology used in defining the
performance of the image system. The text traces the historical
development of imaging systems, reviews the evolution of Earth
observation systems from a global perspective, and examines future
trends. This interdisciplinary work: Presents technical issues
associated with the design, fabrication, and characterization of
the camera Provides a narrow focus and end-to-end solutions to all
components involved in a successful camera-on-Earth observation
system Covers various stages including image formation, optics,
opto-mechanics, material choice, design tradeoffs, fabrication,
evaluation, and finally qualifying the system for space use
Building Earth Observation Cameras provides the tools needed to
enable readers to better understand the concepts and challenges
involved in building space-based Earth observation systems.
