Opis: Planetary Geodesy and Remote Sensing

Although lunar exploration began in the 1960s, the moon and other planets have many long-standing, unanswered questions about planetary environments, origin, formation and evolution, magnetization of crustal rocks, internal structure, and possible life. However, with the recent development of planetary geodesy and remote sensing with higher spatial and spectral resolution have come new opportunities to explore and understand the moon and planets in greater detail. Written by well-established, international scientists in the planetary science and remote sensing fields, Planetary Geodesy and Remote Sensing presents the latest methods and techniques of planetary geodesy and remote sensing. The book discusses the latest results in planetary science, including theory, methods, measurements, topography, gravity and magnetic field, atmosphere and ionosphere, geomorphology, volcano, craters, internal structure, and water. The book also highlights comparative studies with the earth in the atmosphere, geomorphology, and interiors of the planets. It discusses future missions and future objectives of planetary exploration and science using the latest advances in remote sensing. With chapters contributed by a stellar list of pioneers and experts, the book provides new insight on the application of new technologies and the observations in planetary geodesy. It is suitable for those working in the field as well as for planetary probe designers, engineers, and planetary geologists and geophysicists. "Geodetic observations such as measurements of gravity, topography and rotation using radio wave, laser, and image techniques provide one of the fundamental ways to study planetary bodies. When integrated with other remote sensing data from spectrometers, microwave radiometers, magnetometers, etc., the geodetic data provide scientists an invaluable vantage to understand internal structure and evolution of planetary bodies. Planetary Geodesy and Remote Sensing presents a synthesis of theories, methods, and techniques as well as current understanding and future application in the relevant research fields. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in lunar and planetary geodesy and geophysics." -Koji Matsumoto, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Iwate Prefecture, Japan This book documents the interesting results from the Chinese Chan'E program for the Moon. It is certainly a remarkable contribution to lunar science." -Luciano Iess, Universita La SapienzaLunar Geodesy and Sensing: Methods and Results from Recent Lunar Exploration Missions, Shuanggen Jin, Sundaram Arivazhagan, and Tengyu Zhang Improvement of Chang'E-1 Orbit Accuracy by Differential and Space VLBI, Wei Yan, Shuanggen Jin, and Erhu Wei Laser Altimetry and Its Applications in Planetary Science, Hauke Hussmann Photogrammetric Processing of Chang'E-1 and Chang'E-2 STEREO Imagery for Lunar Topographic Mapping, Kaichang Di, Yiliang Liu, Bin Liu, and Man Peng Integration and Coregistration of Multisource Lunar Topographic Data Sets for Synergistic Use, Bo Wu, Jian Guo, and Han Hu Estimates of the Major Elemental Abundances with Chang'E-1 Interference Imaging Spectrometer Data, Yunzhao Wu Lunar Clinopyroxene Abundance Retrieved from M3 Data Based on Topographic Correction, Pengju Guo, Shengbo Chen, Jingran Wang, Yi Lian, Ming Ma, andYanqiu Li Martian Minerals and Rock Components from MRO CRISM Hyperspectral Images, Yansong Xue and Shuanggen Jin Anomalous Brightness Temperature in Lunar Poles Based on the SVD Method from Chang'E-2 MRM Data, Yi Lian, Sheng-bo Chen, Zhi-guo Meng, Ying Zhang, Ying Zhao, and Peng-ju Guo Mercury's Magnetic Field in the MESSENGER Era, Johannes Wicht and Daniel Heyner Lunar Gravity Field Determination from Chang'E-1 and Other Missions' Data, Jianguo Yan, Fei Li, and Koji Matsumoto Martian Crust Thickness and Structure from Gravity and Topography, Tengyu Zhang, Shuanggen Jin, and Robert Tenzer The Theory of the Lunar Physical Libration with a Liquid Core, Yuri Barkin, Hideo Hanada, Jose Ferrandiz, Koji Matsumoto, Shuanggen Jin, and Misha Barkin Index
