Observing the Earth from the vantage point of space has emerged as an important means to plan our natural resources in a sustainable manner. This book helps readers understand the tradeoffs in selecting various sensor parameters for electro-optical sensors and how each parameter is optimally selected. It provides a detailed account of the actions required to make a camera system space worthy. The book includes case studies based on the IRS sensors and is a good companion for a system designer.

A System Engineer’s Guide to Building an Earth Observation Camera Building Earth Observation Camerasdiscusses the science and technology of building an electro-optical imaging system for a space platform from concept to space qualification and in-orbit evaluation. The book provides a broad overview of various Earth imaging systems with specific examples illustrating the design and development issues that impacted the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS) cameras, and is based on the actual experience of the author, who was intimately involved with the development of cameras for the IRS program.It equips imaging system project managers, scholars, and researchers with the ability to look deeper into the systems that they are developing, and arms application scientists who use satellite imagery with a greater understanding of the technical aspects and terminology used in defining the performance of the image system. The text traces the historical development of imaging systems, reviews the evolution of Earth observation systems from a global perspective, and examines future trends.This interdisciplinary work:Presents technical issues associated with the design, fabrication, and characterization of the cameraProvides a narrow focus and end-to-end solutions to all components involved in a successful camera-on-Earth observation systemCovers various stages including image formation, optics, opto-mechanics, material choice, design tradeoffs, fabrication, evaluation, and finally qualifying the system for space use Building Earth Observation Camerasprovides the tools needed to enable readers to better understand the concepts and challenges involved in building space-based Earth observation systems.

Analysis of the most recent data from the Sri Lanka Labor Force Survey (LFS) and Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) provides an update to the 2013 policy report, Getting In and Staying In: Increasing Female Labor Force Participation in Sri Lanka.

This collection of short stories contain memories from the life of the author as a child during the Holocaust years in Romania. A group of other short stories relates to his life as a medical student and young physician. The historical background of these is the nightmarish years of the Orwellian, corrupt, dictatorship of the communist regime in Romania. Another story tells the life of a German woman who chooses to share her fate and life with the Jewish family she comes to work for before and during the Holocaust. Friendship, loyalty, decency, and love make hope triumph.
