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.

William A. Imbriale, Joseph H. Yuen, “Spaceborne Antennas for Planetary Exploration”
Wiley-Interscience | 2006-06-30 | ISBN: 0470051507 | 592 pages | PDF | 22,1 MB

Spaceborne Antennas for Planetary Exploration covers the development of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) spacecraft antennas, beginning with the first Explorer satellite in 1958 through current research and development activities aimed at future missions. Readers follow the evolution of all the new designs and technological innovations that were developed to meet the growing demands of deep space exploration.

The book focuses on the radio frequency design and performance of antennas, but covers environmental and mechanical considerations as well. There is additionally a thorough treatment of all the analytical and measurement techniques used in design and performance assessment. Each chapter is written by one or more leading experts in the field of antenna technology.

The presentation of the history and technology of spaceborne antennas is aided by several features:

Photographs and drawings of JPL spacecraft
Illustrations to help readers visualize concepts and designs
Tables highlighting and comparing the performance of the antennas
Bibliographies at the end of each chapter leading to a variety of primary and secondary source material

This book complements Large Antennas of the Deep Space Network (Wiley 2002), which surveys the ground antennas covered in support of spacecraft. Together, these two books completely cover all JPL antenna technology, in keeping with the JPL Deep Space Communications and Navigation Series mission to capture and present the many innovations in deep space telecommunications over the past decades.

This book is a fascinating and informative read for all individuals working in or interested in deep space telecommunications.

Philippe Lacomme, Jean-Philippe Hardange - Air and Spaceborne Radar Systems
SciTech Publishing | 2001 | ISBN: 0852969813 | Pages: 640 | PDF | 8.50 MB

This introduction to the field of radar is intended for actual users of radar. It focuses on the history, main principles, functions, modes, properties and specific nature of modern airborne radar. The book examines radar’s role within the system when carrying out its assigned missions, showing the possibilities of radar as well as its limitations. Finally, given the changing operational requirements and the potential opened up by modern technological developments, a concluding section describes how radar may evolve in the future.

The authors review the current state of the main types of airborne and spaceborne radar systems, designed for specific missions as well as for the global environment of their host aircraft or satellites. They include numerous examples of the parameters of these radars. The emphasis in the book is not only on a particular radar technique, but equally on the main radar functions and missions. Even if a wide range of techniques are described in the book, the focus is on those which are connected to practical applications.

Users and other non-specialists will use the book to communicate better with suppliers, whereas engineers will find design examples and algorithms that actually work in such areas as air-to-air detection and tracking, air-to-ground, air-to-sea, and imaging from aircraft or from space. The authors give an original and independent view of the subject, based technical experience gained from their own close involvement with all the key development in airborne radar systems in France for the last 40 years.

KEY FEATURES:

Visually stunning presentation, heavily illustrated with drawings, photos, charts, and more, including SAR images at very high resolution
Explains the motion effect on SAR images as well as on the main autofocus techniques and their performance. Includes an original algorithm for ISAR imaging of ships at sea.
Gives equal treatment to air defense, ground surveillance and sea surveillance systems. Most books concentrate on air defense.
Easy to understand. Can be read by anyone with only general technical and/or scientific knowledge.
