When the first U.S. satellite was launched in January 1958, there were many skeptics as to the practical value of the space program. On April 1, 1960, in a little over two years, the world's first Earth observation satellite-TIROS-was successfully orbited, demonstrating for the first time the potential of remote sensing from space to provide direct benefits to mankind. This book covers the principal activities of remote sensing of the atmosphere, the land, and the oceans from space.

Flight Vehicle System Identification, Second Edition offers a systematic approach to flight vehicle system identification and covers exhaustively the time-domain methodology. Beginners, as well as practicing engineers, researchers, and working professionals who wish to refresh or broaden their knowledge of flight vehicle system identification, will find this book highly *** addresses in detail the theoretical and practical aspects of various parameter estimation methods, including those in the stochastic framework focusing on nonlinear models, cost function, optimization methods, and residual analysis. A pragmatic and balanced account of pros and cons in each case is provided. The book also presents data gathering and model validation, covering both large-scale and high-fidelity ***-world problems dealing with a variety of flight vehicle applications are addressed, and solutions are provided. Examples encompass such problems as estimation of aerodynamic stability and control derivatives from flight data, flight-path reconstruction, nonlinearities in control surface effectiveness, stall hysteresis, unstable aircraft, flexible aircraft model integrating rigid-body and structural dynamics, wake vortex encounters, and other critical *** on the author's years of experience, Flight Vehicle System Identification, Second Edition also provides recommendations for overcoming problems likely to be faced in developing complex nonlinear and high-fidelity models and can help the novice negotiate the challenges of developing highly accurate mathematical models and aerodynamic databases from experimental flight *** that runs under MATLAB and sample flight data are provided to assist the reader in reworking the examples presented in the text. The extended software is highly flexible to use and suitable for advanced applications; it can also be adapted to the reader's own *** second edition retains the same structure as the firs
