Modern Earth-orbiting satellites are sophisticated machines that
have transformed all aspects of human civilization from
communications and navigation to defense, to global monitoring and
intelligent stewardship of our planet. ""Satellites"" examines the
evolution of these spacecrafts from the speculative writings of
visionaries in the 19th century to the incredibly sophisticated
platforms that have transformed every aspect of modern life. Using
space technology to convey fundamental principles of mathematics,
biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science,
""Satellites"" has been carefully crafted to help students and
teachers discover what Earth-orbiting spacecraft are, where they
came from, how they work, and why they are so important. This
approach will help students and teachers better appreciate science
and engineering in a global context. Chapters include: From Sputnik
1 to Aura; How a Satellite Works; Satellites Come in All Shapes and
Sizes; Military Satellites; Weather Satellites; Communication
Satellites; Navigation Satellites; Satellites as Scientific
Observatories; Fundamentals of Remote Sensing; Earth-Observing
Spacecraft; and Earth System Science and Global Change.
