Next Generation of CubeSats and SmallSats: Enabling Technologies,
Missions, and Markets provides a comprehensive understanding of the
small and medium sized satellite approach and its potentialities
and limitations. The book analyzes promising applications (e.g.,
constellations and distributed systems, small science platforms
that overachieve relative to their development time and cost) as
paradigm-shifting solutions for space exploitation, with an
analysis of market statistics and trends and a prediction of where
the technologies, and consequently, the field is heading in the
next decade. The book also provides a thorough analysis of CubeSat
potentialities and applications, and addresses unique technical
approaches and systems strategies. Throughout key sections
(introduction and background, technology details, systems,
applications, and future prospects), the book provides basic design
tools scaled to the small satellite problem, assesses the
technological state-of-the-art, and describes the most recent
advancements with a look to the near future. This new book is for
aerospace engineering professionals, advanced students, and
designers seeking a broad view of the CubeSat world with a brief
historical background, strategies, applications, mission scenarios,
new challenges and upcoming advances.
Written by an interdisciplinary group of experts from both industry
and academia, Acoustic Wave Sensors provides an in-depth look at
the current state of acoustic wave devices and the scope of their
use in chemical, biochemical, and physical measurements, as well as
in engineering applications. Because of the inherent
interdisciplinary applications of these devices, this book will be
useful for the chemist and biochemist interested in the use and
development ofthese sensors for specific applications; the
electrical engineer involved in the design and improvement of these
devices; the chemical engineer and the biotechnologist interested
in using these devices for process monitoring and control; and the
sensor community at large.
