Title: Fundamentals of Spacecraft Optical Navigation
Author: John A. Christian
Description:
An authoritative and comprehensive foundation for professionals, educators, and students working in optical navigation
In Fundamentals of Spacecraft Optical Navigation, aerospace engineer John Christian delivers a rigorous and up-to-date discussion of optical navigation-the art of navigating spacecraft with camera images. The author combines the rich history of the fields of aerospace engineering, geometry, astronomy, planetary science, and computer vision with a robust treatment of the mathematics needed to solve contemporary problems.
Organized into ten chapters, the book provides the first comprehensive treatment of optical navigation. Readers will find:
[list]
[*]A detailed account of the history of optical navigation, with plentiful excerpts and figures from original sources
[*]A rigorous introduction to the mathematics of projective geometry
[*]Thorough introductions to spacecraft dynamics, kinematics, and reference frames
[*]Comprehensive explorations of star catalogs, astrometry, and planetary photometry
[*]Overview of optical instrument hardware design
[*]Practical discussion of celestial navigation and terrain relative navigation (TRN)
[/list]
Perfect for graduate students interested in spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control, Fundamentals of Spacecraft Optical Navigation will also benefit aerospace faculty and aerospace professionals with a responsibility for designing, reviewing, operating, or working with optical navigation systems.
