Summary:

Written by international scientists well established in the planetary science and remote sensing fields, this book presents recent developments of planetary exploration techniques. It covers the latest results in planetary science, including theory, methods, measurements, topography, gravity and magnetic field, atmosphere and ionosphere, geomorphology, volcano, craters, internal structure, and water. The book also highlights comparative studies with the earth in the atmosphere, geomorphology, and interiors of the planets. It discusses future missions and future objectives of planetary exploration and science using the latest advances in remote sensing-- Provided by publisher.
