6.1 Introduction | |
Sommario/riassunto: | JPL spacecraft antennas-from the first Explorer satellite in 1958 to current R & DSpaceborne Antennas for Planetary Exploration covers the development of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) spacecraft antennas, beginning with the first Explorer satellite in 1958 through current research and development activities aimed at future missions. Readers follow the evolution of all the new designs and technological innovations that were developed to meet the growing demands of deep space exploration.The book focuses on the radio frequency design and performance of antennas, but covers envi |
