Remote and Robotic Investigations of the Solar System

<p>Interest in and knowledge of the techniques utilised to investigate our solar system has been growing rapidly for decades and has now reached a stage of maturity. Therefore the time has now arrived for a book that provides a cohesive and coherent account of how we have obtained our present knowledge of solar system objects not including the Sun.</p><p></p><p>Remote and Robotic Investigations of the Solar System covers all aspects of solar system observations: the instruments their theory and their practical use both on Earth and in space. It explores the state-of-the-art telescopes cameras spacecraft and instruments used to analyse the interiors surfaces atmospheres and radiation belts of solar system objects in addition to radio waves gamma rays cosmic rays and neutrinos. This book would be ideal for university students undertaking physical science subjects and professionals working in the field in addition to amateur astronomers and anyone interested in learning more about our local astronomical neighbours.</p>
