Assessment of Space Power Related Measurement Requirements of the Strategic Defense Initiative (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Assessment of Space Power Related Measurement Requirements of the Strategic Defense Initiative A survey has been performed to determine the measurement requirements of space power related parameters for anticipated sdi systems. These requirements have been compared to present state-of -- the-art metrology capabilities as represented by the cali bration capabilities of the, National Institute of Standards and Technology. Metrology areas where present state-of-the -- art capabilities are inadequate to meet sdi require ments are discussed, and areas of metrology-related research which appear promising to meet these needs are examined. Particular attention is paid to the difficulties of long-term, unattended sensor calibrations and long -- term measurement reliability.

Measuring Space Power


Book Description

This book provides an in-depth investigation of the concept of space power and devises a novel conceptual framework for empirically measuring and comparing different typologies of space actors on the basis of clearly defined criteria. In turn, the book identifies a comprehensive set of conditions required to achieve and maintain the status of space power and explores the main political, security, and socio-economic stakes involved. Building on this basis, the book conducts a comparative assessment of the major space actors, the underlying aim of which is to examine Europe’s relative position in the space arena and put into perspective its proclaimed goal to assert itself as a space power, with all of the means and resources this would entail. Given its scope, the book represents a valuable and versatile tool to support European decision-making and offers key insights for executives, space professionals and scholars alike.










Measurement Techniques in Space Plasmas


Book Description

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 102. Space plasma measurements are conducted in a hostile, remote environment. The art and science of measurements gathered in space depend therefore on unique instrument designs and fabrication methods to an extent perhaps unprecedented in experimental physics. In-situ measurement of space plasmas constitutes an expensive, unforgiving, and highly visible form of scientific endeavor.
