This revised text covers the entire field of satellite geodesy. Basic chapters on reference systems, time, signal propogation and satellite orbits are updated. All currently important observation methods are included and also all newly launched satellites of interest to geodesy. Particular emphasis is given to the current status of the Global Positioning System (GPS), which covers about one third of the book. A new chapter on Differential GPS and active GPS reference networks is included. The GPS modernization plans, GLONASS, the forthcoming European system GALILEO, modern developments in GPS data analysis, error modelling, precise real time methods and ambiguity resolution are dealt with in detail. New satellite laser ranging missions, new altimetry missions (e.g. TOPEC/Poseidon, ERS-1/2, GFO, JASON), and new and forthcoming gravity field missions (CHAMP, GRACE, GOCE) are also considered. The book serves as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference for professionals and scientists in the field of engineering and geosciences such as geodesy, surveying, geo-information, navigation, geophysics and oceanography.

Review
"Als anspruchsvolles Lehrbuch und auch als wissenschaftliches Nachschlagwerk kann es allen Lernenden und Lehrenden der Geod sie und der brigen Geowisschenschaftensowie allen Anwendern, die "nur" einen berblick ber die aktuellen Entwicklungen gewinnen m chten, bestens empfohlen werden."Peter Mesenburg in: Kartographische Nachrichten 1/2006 "Ein exzellentes Lehrbuch f r das Fach Satellitengeod sie."Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alfred Kleusberg "The new edition of G nter Seeber's book will be a welcome addition to the libraries of both students and researchers in the field of navigation, geodesy, and geomatics. It is the only monograph which so completely covers the whole field of space geodesy." Richard Langley, Canspace "Das Werk ist modern aufgebaut, gut zu lesen und weist die Handschrift eines erfahrenen Hochschullehrers und Wissenschaftlers auf. Es ist der Fachwelt w rmstens zu empfehlen."Lothar Stange in: Photogrammetrie Fernerkundung Geoinformation 6/2003 "Dieses Buch spricht Studierende, Prakti

Satellite Geodesy : Foundations, Methods, and Applications.,
By ANTONIO HERNANDEZ-NAVARRO (Aguascalientes, Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Satellite Geodesy: Foundations, Methods, and Applications (Hardcover)
A very interesting book that show development and trends of satelitte geodey. Dr. Gunter Seeber is very knowledgable and has a broad spectrum of experiences which he writes about. This book is basic for everyone that want to undestand foundations of Global Positioning System (GPS). Also, gives an extensive overview for satellite applications.
