Radiometric Tracking Techniques for Deep-Space Navigation

Informationen zum Autor Catherine L. Thornton received a B.A. degree, magna cum laude, from Vanderbilt University in 1960, with a major in mathematics. She received an M.S. in mathematics from Northwestern University in 1961 and a Ph.D in engineering from UCLA in 1976. James S. Border is the author of Radiometric Tracking Techniques for Deep-Space Navigation , published by Wiley. Klappentext Radiometric Tracking Techniques for Deep-Space Navigation focuses on a broad array of technologies and concepts developed over the last four decades to support radio navigation on interplanetary spacecraft. In addition to an overview of Earth-based radio navigation techniques, the book includes a simplified conceptual presentation of each radiometric measurement type, its information content, and the expected measeurement accuracy. The methods described for both aquiring and calibrating radiometric measurements also provide a robust system to support guidance and navigation for future robotic space exploration. Zusammenfassung Part of a series in junction with NASA which takes communications technology to the farthest reaches of space, this book focuses on an array of technologies and concepts developed to support radio navigation on interplanetary spacecraft.
