Earth and Space Remote Sensing with Nanosatellites: Principles and Applications

Nanosatellite missions are exploding in popularity and will ultimately change the landscape of critical spaceborne observations for earth and space science and associated application areas. This book unites sensor system and architecture design with nanosatellite development, testing and mission implementation and planning to provide a complete treatment of earth and space remote sensing with nanosatellites. The book covers introductory concepts as well as practical engineering aspects related to the design of ultracompact sensor systems and nanosatellite spacecraft and subsystems.
