Optical measurement in space geodesy

Optical methods provide the organizing focus for this introduction to space geodesy. Alongside the technical details, the book places the methods in a broader context and examines why they are used in the ways presented. It also addresses how to judge their capabilities and limitations—an important distinction when learning what a measurement can establish. Suggestions for further reading give students a route into the subjects covered without making prior specialist technical knowledge a prerequisite.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students beginning space geodesy
  • Readers studying optical measurement techniques
  • Learners seeking context for the capabilities and limits of geodetic methods

Book overview

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.
