It covers all areas of research in which artificial satellites have contributed in designing a new image of our planet and its environment: the atmosphere and ionosphere, the magnetic field, radiation belts and the magnetosphere, weather, remote sensing, mapping of the surface, observation of the oceans and marine environments, geodesy, and the study of life and ecological systems. Stamping the Earth from Space presents the results obtained with the thousands of satellites launched by the two former superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, and also those of the many missions carried out by the ESA, individual European countries, Japan, China, India, and the many emerging space nations. Beautifully illustrated, it contains almost 1100 color reproductions of philatelic items. In addition to topical stamps and thematic postal documents, the book provides an extensive review of astrophilatelic items. The most important space missions are documented through event covers and cards canceled at launch sites, tracking stations, research laboratories, and mission control facilities.AstronomyGenetic engineeringBiomedical engineeringSpace sciencesAerospace engineeringAstronauticsPopular Science in Astronomyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009Genetic Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12037Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Astronomy.Genetic engineering.Biomedical engineering.Space sciences.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Popular Science in Astronomy.Genetic Engineering.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.520Dicati Renatoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut825027BOOK9910159390203321Stamping the Earth from Space1835153UNINA
