About this title

Synopsis:

The book presents a worldwide overview of past, present and future spaceborne and airborne missions and programs and their sensor complements. An effort has been made to present the information in context, to point out relationships and interconnections for a better understanding of the subject.Covering more than 110 spaceborne missions and programs and over 150 airborne sensors, this volume 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. Surveys very often provide valuable clues and inputs for new program directions, for programmatic planning on all levels, for cooperation in new ventures, and, in the end, for a better exploitation of all resources.
