Space Radio Science

Outlines space communications with Earth's satellites and interplanetary probes, interstellar radio communications within our galaxy, and the effects of gravitational fields on propagating radio waves. The text describes a method of radio occultation used to monitor planetary atmospheres and ionospheres.

The author considers the remote sensing of circumsolar and interplanetary plasmas as well as of the Earth and other planets in the solar system. He also analyzes radiophysical problems and methods, as well as the benefits of spacecraft and radio signals.

This book is ideal for radio-physicists, engineers, and students in space radiophysics, remote sensing, and space communications.
