By Herbert J. Kramer
This booklet is set spaceborne missions and tools. furthermore, surveys of airborne missions and of campaigns are available at the accompanying CD-ROM in pdf-format. in comparison with the third version the spaceborne half grew from approximately three hundred to a thousand pages. the total textual content - together with the electronic-only chapters - comprises greater than 1900 pages. New chapters deal with the background of Earth statement and collage missions. The variety of advertisement Earth imaging missions has grown considerably. A bankruptcy comprises reference information and definitions. wide appendices offer a accomplished word list, acronyms and abbreviations and an index of sensors. An attempt has been made to provide the data in context, to indicate relationships and interconnections. The e-book could function a reference and advisor to all excited by many of the nationwide and overseas house courses: researchers and executives, provider services and knowledge clients, lecturers and scholars.

The swath range is ± 300 km, this is accomplished by rolling the SIC about its longitudinal axis (the SIC rolling is only done for special observation requirements). The swath width of OSSI is 80 km. 3%), the small duty cycle is due to on-board data recording limitations (400 Gbit of digital data is the recorder capacity for all data streams). The data rate of OSSI is 560 Mbit/s. 5 - 4 m. 8 Itm • • Balkan-2 = Udar (built by the Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Tomsk; the instrument has a heritage of Balkan-1 on MIR-1).
Measurement of plasma wave activity in the magnetosphere/solar wind environment and inside the artificial plasma clouds. Measurement technique: 42 m tip-to-tip dipole antenna, boom-mounted search coils. Coverage: E-field: DC - 5 Hz; B-field: 30 Hz - 1 MHz. Lithium/Barium Experiments. Measurement technique: Copper-oxide thermite reaction. The injection oflithium and barium plasmas into the solar wind and geomagnetic tail constitute the active element of the AMPTE mission. The objective of the releases is ion tracing and the study of the interaction of two vastly different plasmas in space.
E. unmanned) spacecraft are actually of the type 'Salyut space station' - a proven technology - such a S/C can even be visited by a crew in case of serious problems. Some of the ALMAZ program objectives: Development of a series of automatic space stations on the basis of a universal ALMAZ platform Development of a sensor complement with an upgrading capability in the sensor performance characteristics with regard to spatial resolution, coverage, spectral characteristics, etc. Increase of the number of instruments and the number of solvable tasks with every mission.
