An ideal resource for lecturers, this book provides a comprehensive
review of experimental space astronomy. The number of astronomers
whose knowledge and interest is concentrated on interpreting
observations has grown substantially in the past decades; yet, the
number of scientists who are familiar with and capable of dealing
with instrumentation has dwindled. All of the authors of this work
are leading and experienced experts and practitioners who have
designed, built, tested, calibrated, launched and operated advanced
observing equipment for space astronomy. This book also contains
concise information on the history of the field, supported by
appropriate references. Moreover, scientists working in other
fields will be able to get a quick overview of the salient issues
of observing photons in any one of the various energy, wavelength
and frequency ranges accessible in space. This book was written
with the intention to make it accessible to advanced undergraduate
and graduate students.
