Small Satellites for Earth Observation
The 6th IAA Symposium on Small Satellites for Earth Observation, initiated by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), was again hosted by DLR, the German Aerospace Center. The participation of scientists, engineers, and managers from 24 countries reflected the high interest in the use of small satellites for dedicated missions applied to Earth observation. The contributions showed that dedicated Earth observation missions cover a wide range of very different tasks.
First CHAMP Mission Results for Gravity, Magnetic and Atmospheric Studies
In 1995, the German Space Agency DARA selected the CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) mission for development under a special support programme for the space industry in the new states of the unified Germany, with the Principal Investigator and his home institution GFZ Potsdam being ultimately responsible for the success of all mission phases. After three years of spacecraft manufactur ing and testing, the satellite was injected successfully into its final, near circular, almost polar and low altitude (450 km) orbit from the cosmodrome Plesetsk in Russia on July 15, 2000. After a nine month commissioning period during which all spacecraft systems and instruments were checked, calibrat...
Solar-terrestrial Energy Program
The worldwide community of solar-terrestrial scientists has embarked on an exciting and intellectually rewarding project - to understand quantitatively the linkage from the Sun through the interplanetary medium and into the depths of our surrounding geospace. The variety and complexity of the physical processes involved in these linkages have stood as a challenge to mankind's understanding for centuries. Through a concerted global effort, the Solar-Terrestrial Energy Program (STEP) has begun to use remarkable new observational tools and modelling capabilities to achieve an unprecedented comprehension of our solar-terrestrial system. STEP has been designed to study the flow of energy starting from the Sun, tracking that energy as it progressed through the interplanetary medium into the magnetosphere-ionosphere system and ultimately through the thermosphere and middle atmosphere to regions adjacent to the Earth's surface. This volume contains a selection of articles presented at the first major STEP Symposium on The Initial Results from the STEP Facilities and Theory Campaigns, and represents the state-of-the-art in the comprehension of solar-terrestrial environments.
