 | Hyperspectral Satellites and System Design Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Geography; Aerospace Engineering; GIS Remote Sensing & Cartography; Biomedical Engineering; Electrical & Electronic Engineering; Transport & Vehicle Engineering; Laser Science; Remote Sensing; Electrical Engineering Communications; Aerospace & Aviation Engineering; Hyperspectral Satellites and System Design is the first book on this subject. It provides a systematic analysis and detailed design of the entire development process of hyperspectral satellites. Derived from the author's 25-year firsthand experience as a technical lead of space missions at the Canadian Space Agency, the book offers engineers, scientists, and decision-makers detailed knowledge and guidelines on hyperspectral satellite system design, trade-offs, performance modeling and simulation, optimization from component to system level, subsystem design, and implementation strategies. This information will help reduce the risk, shorten the development period, and lower the cost of hyperspectral satellite missions. This book is a must-have reference for professionals in developing hyperspectral satellites and data applications. It is also an excellent introductory book for early practitioners and students who want to learn more about hyperspectral satellites and their applications. Dr. Shen-En Qian is a senior scientist, scientific authority of government contracts and technical lead of space missions at the Canadian Space Agency. He has written three books on optical satellites and their signal processing, authored chapters in five others and edited a book on optical payloads for space missions. He has published 120 papers. He holds 35 granted patents in U.S., Europe, Canada and Australia developed in Canadian government laboratory. He received IEEE Canada Outstanding Engineer Award and Silver Medal in 2019. |
