"Spacecraft Sensors," the first of its kind, offers a comprehensive
review of many aspects and intricacies of sensors used in the
spacecraft industry. It covers sensor development from concept,
design, and cost, to building, testing, interfacing, integrating,
and on-orbit operation. It is intended for the specialist or
non-specialist engineer, scientist, and those involved in the
business aspect of the spacecraft industry.
Focusing on how these various disciplines contribute to the
development of a sensor used in space, this key text: Explains how
mathematics, physics, business, and engineering-based concepts are
used to develop and design a sensor which complies with a set of
specific requirements. Discusses essential topics such as cost
estimation, signal processing, noise reduction, filters, phased
arrays, radars, optics, and radiometers used in space operation.
Covers a range of typical sensors used in the spacecraft industry
such as infrared, passive microwave, radars and spacebased GPS
sensors. Concludes each chapter with examples of past and current
orbiting sensors such as DSP, SBIRS, CHAMP, LANDSAT, and GOES to
illustrate how concepts are applied. Includes the Matlab codes used
to create the example plots in order to give the reader a starting
point for further analysis
"Spacecraft Sensors" is an invaluable resource for engineers,
technical consultants, those in the business division, and research
scientists associated with spacecraft projects. It is also an
excellent textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students
studying the development, design and applications of spacebased
sensors.
