Deep Space Communications and
Navigation Series
Jon Hamkins, Editor-in-Chief
The Deep Space Communications and Navigation Series, authored by scientists and engineers with many years of experience in their respective fields, lays a foundation for innovation by communicating state-of-the-art knowledge in key technologies. The series also captures fundamental principles and practices developed during decades of deep-space exploration at JPL. In addition, it celebrates successes and imparts lessons learned. Finally, the series will serve to guide a new generation of scientists and engineers.
*Hard copies of the DESCANSO books are now published by John Wiley &
Sons.
*This series has been translated into Chinese by Tsinghua University,
Beijing, China.
