The material is organized roughly as follows: the first third of the book deals with navigation in the natural world, the early history of navigation, navigating by the stars, precise mechanical chronometers for the determination of longitude at sea, and the development of precise quartz controlled clocks. Then, the reader is introduced to quantum ideas as a lead in to a discussion of microwave and optical interactions with atoms, atomic clocks, laser gyrocompasses, and time based navigation. The final third of the book deals with satellite-based systems, including orbit theory, early satellite navigation systems, and a detailed treatment of the Global Positioning System (GPS)..Intended for non-specialists with some knowledge of physics or engineering at the college level, this book covers in an intuitive manner a broad range of topics relevant to the evolution of surface and space navigation, with minimum | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | Ancient mariners; Atomic clocks; Fouad Major; GPS Satellite Orbital parameters; GPS book; Geodesy book; Ge | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-8672-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-4196-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-8672-5 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 |
