Jin S. (Ed.) Planetary geodesy and remote sensing

CRC Press. Taylor & Francis Group. 2015. - 391 p.
In this book, the methods and techniques of planetary geodesy and remote sensing are presented, as well as scientific results on probe orbit, topography, gravity field, crustal thickness, mineral components, major elements, clinopyroxene, and physical libration of planets.This book provides the main techniques, methods, and observations of planetary geodesy and remote sensing, and their applications in planetary science for planetary explorers and researchers who have geodetic and remote-sensing background and experiences. Furthermore, it is also useful for planetary probe designers, engineers, and other specialists, for example, planetary geologists and geophysicists.
