Integrate cutting-edge technology into spacecraft design with this groundbreaking work Artificial intelligence and machine learning have revolutionized virtually every area of computing and complex engineering, and the design of satellite spacecraft is no exception. Intelligent satellites are increasingly capable of human-like perception, decision-making, and operations, and their problem-solving capacities are still expanding. As AI and machine learning continue to advance, their integration into satellite manufacture will only deepen. Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation seeks to understand the foundations of this integration and its likely directions in the coming years. Beginning from the basic principles of interaction between artificial intelligence and satellite design and mission planning, the book analyzes a series of current or potential areas of technological advancement to create a comprehensive overview of the subject. Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation readers will also find: Background information on the introduction and development of artificial intelligence Detailed discussion of topics including autonomous satellite operation, remote sensing satellites, and many more Over 100 illustrations and tables to reinforce key concepts Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation is ideal for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in engineering, computing, and spacecraft design programs, as well as researchers in these and related fields.

An ideal resource for lecturers, this book provides a comprehensive review of experimental space astronomy. The number of astronomers whose knowledge and interest is concentrated on interpreting observations has grown substantially in the past decades; yet, the number of scientists who are familiar with and capable of dealing with instrumentation has dwindled. All of the authors of this work are leading and experienced experts and practitioners who have designed, built, tested, calibrated, launched and operated advanced observing equipment for space astronomy. This book also contains concise information on the history of the field, supported by appropriate references. Moreover, scientists working in other fields will be able to get a quick overview of the salient issues of observing photons in any one of the various energy, wavelength and frequency ranges accessible in space. This book was written with the intention to make it accessible to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

The discovery of planets around stars other than the Sun within the past 15 years has opened up one of the largest and most exciting new fields in modern astronomy. The transit method of detecting exoplanets has revealed more information about individual planets than any other method of detection. This volume, the proceedings of IAU Symposium 253, contains a description of the latest development in the field of transiting extrasolar planets. Topical reviews and short contributions from more than one hundred authors present the latest results in the field, from the photometric transit searches for transiting planets, through observational studies of these planets, to the consequences for theories of planet formation, evolution and planetary atmospheres. Presenting the latest research, it is an important resource for graduate students and researchers working in astronomy and planetary sciences.

Stellar models are the very basic building blocks with which we build up our knowledge of the Universe. New numerical experiments are heralding a new level of sophistication in our ability to model, and understand, how stars work. This volume provides an overview and the most recent advances in modeling of stellar structure and evolution. Modeling of stars relies on our understanding of the detailed physical processes happening in stars, and the most recent observations of stars made by modern large telescopes and current high technologies. IAU Symposium 252 presents the most recent developments in five key areas, including: improvements of the physical ingredients of stellar models; the evolution of low and intermediate mass stars; the evolution of massive stars; close binary evolution; and stellar physics in the era of very large telescopes. This overview of stellar research is at a level suitable for research astronomers and graduate students.
