Reviews

Geodetic observations such as measurements of gravity, topography and rotation using radio wave, laser, and image techniques provide one of the fundamental ways to study planetary bodies. When integrated with other remote sensing data from spectrometers, microwave radiometers, magnetometers, etc., the geodetic data provide scientists an invaluable vantage to understand internal structure and evolution of planetary bodies. Planetary Geodesy and Remote Sensing presents a synthesis of theories, methods, and techniques as well as current understanding and future application in the relevant research fields. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in lunar and planetary geodesy and geophysics. Koji Matsumoto, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Iwate Prefecture, Japan This book documents the interesting results from the Chinese Chan'E program for the Moon. It is certainly a remarkable contribution to lunar science. Luciano Iess, Universita La Sapienza
