DESCRIPTION:
"Satellite technology and applications" according to Amit. The book is unique and one of its kind in content and presentation. It is such a nice and comprehensive blend of technology-related and application-related aspects of satellites. I would like to highlight two special features. One is comprehensive treatment of non-communication applications of satellites. Second is simple and very easy-to-understand description of technological aspects related to satellite orbits, trajectories and launch procedures, which are otherwise considered as very difficult topics. Congratulations to both authors for successfully attempting such a work, which w. essential for those who don't want to look like daniel All the main information needed for engineers who sooner or later will have to deal with satellite technology, essential for those who don't want to look like neophytes
