"Radio signals are used to communicate information between robotic space missions throughout the solar system and stations on Earth. These signals are altered in their electromagnetic properties between transmission and reception due to propagation effects caused primarily by intervening media as well as forces acting on the spacecraft. When observed for their scientific potential, such alternations can provide very valuable information about the nature and environment of the planetary bodies or solar system targets under exploration. This also applies to signals transmitted from one spacecraft and received at another, in the case of multi-spacecraft missions. The media that the radio links propagate through include planetary atmospheres, ionospheres, rings, plasma tori, cometary material, or the solar corona. The Doppler shift to the frequency of the signals caused by the relative motion between the spacecraft and ground stations, or any transmitter-receiver combination, can contain scientific information about the gravitational forces acting on the spacecraft resulting from the bulk mass, density distribution, and global interior structure of the planets or moons, among other effects"--

Explore the development and state-of-the-art in deep space exploration using radio science techniques

In Radio Science Techniques for Deep Space Exploration, accomplished NASA/JPL researcher and manager Sami Asmar delivers a multi-disciplinary exploration of the science, technology, engineering, mission operations, and signal processing relevant to deep space radio science. The book discusses basic principles before moving on to more advanced topics that include a wide variety of graphical illustrations and useful references to publications by experts in their respective fields.

Complete explanations of changes in the characteristics of electromagnetic waves and the instrumentation and technology used in scientific experiments are examined.

Radio Science Techniques for Deep Space Exploration offers answers to the question of how to explore the solar system with radio links and better understand the interior structures, atmospheres, rings, and surfaces of other planets. The author also includes:

  • Thorough introductions to radio science techniques and systems needed to investigate planetary atmospheres, rings, and surfaces
  • Comprehensive explorations of planetary gravity and interior structures, as well as relativistic and solar studies
  • Practical discussions of instrumentation, technologies, and future directions in radio science techniques

Perfect for students and professors of physics, astronomy, planetary science, aerospace engineering, and communications engineering, Radio Science Techniques for Deep Space Exploration will also earn a place in the libraries of engineers and scientists in the aerospace industry.
