This book concentrates on the optical techniques of space geodesy. It is intended for a student of space geodesy with no special technical background. It provides a fine balance between a general introduction and the necessary technical detail and therefore addresses a wide audience. Furthermore, it also sets the chosen concepts into a wider context. Why are the various techniques used in exactly the presented way and not differently? For the reader who wishes to dig deeper on any of the discussed subjects, the book also provides the incentive and suggestions for further reading.
Key Features:
- Provides a one-stop guide to the optical techniques of space geodesy.
- Provides students with the necessary competence to properly judge the capabilities and the limitations of the measurement techniques of space geodesy.
- Well-known experts in the field.
