The problem of making radar measurements of meteorological phenomena such as rainfall, clouds, and ice crystal formation from a satellite is discussed. The main problem areas are obtaining sufficient signal-to-noise ratio within the weight limitation of the satellite system and avoiding ground clutter when scanning any significant angle off nadir. Sufficient signal-to-noise ratio to detect heavy rainfall at 35 GHz is available for a downlooking only system within the weight power limitation of the Military Meteorological Satellites. An arrested aperture doppler system to reject ground clutter at large scan angles off nadir while detecting rainfall by doppler due to its vertical motion is suggested. ; "Microwave Physics Laboratory Project 5635." ; ADA003385 (from http://www.dtic.mil). ; "30 September 1974." ; Includes bibliographical references (page 27). ; The problem of making radar measurements of meteorological phenomena such as rainfall, clouds, and ice crystal formation from a satellite is discussed.

Das von internationalen Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis des Raumfahrtrechts verfasste Werk beschäftigt sich im Kern mit Problemen des Eigentumrechts an Satelliten, deren Übertragung und der Haftung bei Schäden.Darüber hinaus werden unter anderem die Registrierung von Raumobjekten unter UN-Rahmenbedingungen und die Zuweisung von Frequenzen behandelt.Die Publikation ist ein bedeutender Beitrag zur theoretischen Debatte über das Recht des Weltraums, ist aber zugleich ein wichtiges Instrument für die Anwaltschaft im Finanz- und Versicherungssektor

"Meteorological Satellite Systems" is a primer on weather satellites and their Earth applications. This book will review historic developments and recent technological advancements in GEO and polar orbiting meteorological satellites. It will explore the evolution of these remote sensing technologies and their capabilities to monitor short- and long-term changes in weather patterns in response to climate change. Satellites developed by various countries, such as U. S. meteorological satellites, EUMETSAT, and Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Indian satellite platforms are reviewed. This book also discusses international efforts to coordinate meteorological remote sensing data collection and sharing. This title provides a ready and quick reference for information about meteorological satellites. It serves as a useful tool for a broad audience that includes students, academics, private consultants, engineers, scientists, and teachers

Oklahoma State University's German by Satellite program employs a telecommunications satellite as a conduit to provide equal access to an educational opportunity primarily for rural and economically disadvantaged schools. This cost-effective German-language program differs from conventional language instruction via radio or television because every student uses a personal computer as a major pedagogical tool. Since coordinating teachers at the receiving sites generally do not know the German language, the computer assists the teacher in involving each student in the instructional process. Every student is presented with goal-oriented tasks that require inventing German sentences, solving language problems, and responding to cultural and political aspects of German-speaking countries. In all of its facets, the German by Satellite program is a complex design by which a university professor in cooperation with a high school teacher can guide students to be actively and successfully involved in attaining a basic level of global language proficiency in German.
