DESCRIPTION:
The encyclopaedic portion of the text on space-borne missions totals more than 1000 pages, and that alone would compose a unique reference text. But there is much more to this book. 51 (2), 2002). His book should be a required document in any serious library supporting remote sensing research and applications." (John H. It is clear that the author has invested an incredible amount of effort to compile so much rich detail in such an accessible format and pleasing style. … In summary, Observations of the Earth and Its Environment is a well-presented encyclopedia of useful information that is required for anyone who is interested in the application, technology, and science
Observation of the Earth and Its Environment: Survey of Missions and Sensors It is a very comprehensive review on technology and sensors exploited in the field. Personally I think it's a bit lacking in the analysis of methodologies used to extract relevant information from sensors' measures.. Roland Romeiser said Very comprehensive list of satellites and sensors. This book provides an impressively comprehensive list of current and historical earth observation satellites and sensors (including satellite-based radionavigation systems and selected space shuttle missions), and the included CD ROM provides an additional list of airborne sensors. Most satellites and sensors are described by a short text followed by a comprehensive list of technical details, such as orbit parameters, instrument parameters, power consumption, mission duration, etc. There are 5"Very comprehensive list of satellites and sensors" according to Roland Romeiser.

The book may serve as a reference and guide to all involved in the various national and international space programs: researchers and managers, service providers and data users, teachers and students.. Extensive appendices provide a comprehensive glossary, acronyms and abbreviations and an index of sensors. A chapter contains reference data and definitions. This book is about spaceborne missions and instruments. The number of commercial Earth imaging missions has grown significantly. An effort has been made to present the information in context, to point out relationships and interconnections. Compared with the 3rd edition the spaceborne part grew from about 300 to 1000 pages.
