Satellite Navigation Technology – serie

This book gives comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals, methods and applications of GNSS-Reflectometry (GNSS-R), including GNSS-R history, GNSS reflection signal characteristics, ground-based GNSS multipath reflectometry, interference pattern technology, delay Doppler map, space-based GNSS-R theory, ocean altimetry, hydrological remote sensing, vegetation monitoring and cryosphere remote sensing, etc. It well presents the current status and the latest application progress in this field. The authors have been engaged in the research and application of GNSS-R for many years with achieving lots of original theoretical and application progress, such as GNSS-R scattering mechanism and new applications, which reflect the forefront trends and cutting-edge dynamics in this discipline. It has important reference value and application prospect for marine monitoring, environment remote sensing, global change monitoring, glacier and permafrost monitoring, meteorological and agricultural application and so on.This book is suitable for professionals, graduate students, and researchers engaged in satellite navigation, remote sensing, space geodesy, marine environment, meteorological services, and global change, and as well as technical support for engineers and transformation applications, especially those engaged in satellite navigation development and environmental remote sensing applications.The basis of English translation of this book, originally in Chinese, was facilitated by artificial intelligence. The content was later revised completely by the authors for accuracy.

This book describes the reliability research results and experience of BeiDou navigation satellite in engineering development. According to the characteristics of high reliability and high availability, this book discusses the reliability requirements, reliability design, reliability modeling, and reliability analysis of navigation satellite and constellation, focusing on the demonstration and decomposition of reliability requirements, constellation availability design, satellite availability design, and availability analysis. Based on the characteristics of batch production of navigation satellites, the particularity of reliability work is analyzed, and the reliability assurance works during batch production such as process reliability, data consistency comparison, storage reliability, and redundant satellite demonstration are introduced.This book is suitable for spacecraft developers, as well as postgraduates majoring in spacecraft engineering, quality, or reliability.
