The author was first challenged by Dr, Fawcett in 1947, when in his first graduate course, Education 687, he was challenged to read more than twenty basic works in mathematics education. From that day to the present, he has known and valued greatly the ready enthusiasm and wise counsel of this master teacher. It is with deep gratitude that the author recognizes the cooperation and encouragement of his wife, Laura, during the preparation of this study. Much of the inconvenience resulting from moving the family several times, for graduate work; and most of the extra effort at home caused by periods of the w riter’s absence, has been borne by her. And to Lenora and Margaret, (or as they would have it, Lee and Meg), the author expresses thanks for their loyalty, during what must have seemed to be most of their lives.

    Federal Aviation Administration The Annual Compendium of Commercial Space Transportation: 2017 January 2017 Annual Compendium of Commercial Space Transportation: 2017 i Contents About the FAA Office of Commercial Space Transportation The Federal Aviation Administration’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA AST) licenses and regulates U.S. commercial space launch and reentry activity, as well as the operation of non-federal launch and reentry sites, as authorized by Executive Order 12465 and Title 51 United States Code, Subtitle V, Chapter 509 (formerly the Commercial Space Launch Act). FAA AST’s mission is to ensure public health and safety and the safety of property while protecting the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States during commercial launch and reentry operations. In addition, FAA AST is directed to encourage, facilitate, and promote commercial space launches and reentries.

Department Reconnaissance and Security Operational Aspects of Orbit Determination with GPS for Small Satellites with SAR Payloads Sergio De Florio, Tino Zehetbauer, Dr. Thomas Neff Phone: +498153282357, [email protected] Abstract Requirements Scientific small satellite missions for remote sensing with Synthetic Taylor expansion of the phase Φ of the radar signal as a Aperture Radar (SAR) payloads or high accuracy optical sensors, pose very function of time varying position, velocity and acceleration: strict requirements on the accuracy of the reconstructed satellite positions, velocities and accelerations. Today usual GPS receivers can fulfill the 4π 233 Φ==++++()t Rtap ()()01kk apttaptt ()(-) 02030 ()(-) k aptt ()(-) k ο () t accuracy requirements of this missions in most cases, but for low-cost- λ missions the decision for a appropriate satellite hardware has to take into Typical requirements, for 0.5 to 1.0 m image resolution, on account not only the reachable quality of data but also the costs.

  • Platforms & Sensors
    PLATFORMS & SENSORS Platform: the vehicle carrying the remote sensing device Sensor: the remote sensing device recording wavelengths of energy e.g. Aerial photography - the plane and the camera Satellite image example: Platform: Landsat (1, 5, 7 etc..) Sensor: Multispectral Sensor (MSS) or Thematic Mapper (TM) Selected satellite remote sensing systems NASA Visible Earth: long list Wim Bakker's website http://members.home.nl/wim.h.bakker http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=52174 1. Satellite orbits “Sun-synchronous” “Geostationary” Land monitoring Weather satellites ~ 700 km altitude ~ 30,000 km altitude Satellite orbits Geostationary / geosynchronous : 36,000 km above the equator, stays vertically above the same spot, rotates with earth - weather images, e.g. GOES (Geostat. Operational Env. Satellite) Sun-synchronous satellites: 700-900 km altitude, rotates at circa 81-82 degree angle to equator: captures imagery approx the same time each day (10am +/- 30 minutes) - Landsat path: earthnow Sun-synchronous Graphic: http://ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca/resource/tutor/datarecept/c1p2_e.php 700-900 km altitude rotates at ~ 81-82 ° angle to the equator (near polar): captures imagery the same time each day (10.30am +/- 30 minutes) - for earth mapping Orbit every 90-100 minutes produces similar daytime lighting Geostationary satellites capture a (rectangular) scene, sun-synchronous satellites capture a continuous swath, … which is broken into rectangular scenes. 2. Scanner types Whiskbroom (mirror/ cross-track): a small number of sensitive diodes for each band sweep perpendicular to the path or swath, centred directly under the platform, i.e. at 'nadir' e.g. LANDSAT MSS /TM Pushbroom (along-track): an array of diodes (one for each column of pixels) is 'pointed' in a selected direction, nadir or off-nadir, on request, usually 0-30 degrees (max.), e.g.
