Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As an increasing number of geostationary satellites fill a limited number of orbital slots, collocation of satellites leads to a risk of close approach or misidentification. The ability to detect maneuvers made by these satellites using optical observations can help to prevent these problems. Such a model has already been created and tested using data from the Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing site.The goal of this research was to create a more robust model which would reduce the amount of data needed to make accurate maneuver estimations. The Clohessy-Wiltshire equations were used to model the relative motion of a geostationary satellite about its intended location and a nonlinear least squares algorithm was developed to estimate the satellite trajectories.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "For those seeking a heroic story, an expression of idealism, self-sacrifice, and resistance against tyranny, the story of the fall of Jerusalem and Masada remain two of history's epic events." - from the new introduction. A dramatic and engrossing English prose retelling of the story of two pivotal events on Jewish history-the sieges of Jerusalem and Masada during the Roman-Jewish War (66-73 CE)-drawn directly from the Latin original written by the famous historian Flavius Josephus. Josephus-a Jewish rebel leader captured and "turned" by the Romans, is the only historian to have recorded in detail the events surrounding these two earthshaking events. The first part, prepared by famous English historian Alfred J. Church, deals with the events leading up to the siege and fall of Jerusalem, and the second part, newly prepared by New York scholar Brian Hirsch, deals with the events immediately afterward, including the siege and fall of Masada. The Great Jewish Revolt had its origins in protests against Roman taxation. After the Romans responded to the unrest by looting the Temple in Jerusalem, a full-scale uprising broke out, which led to the massacre of both the Roman garrison and a legion dispatched from Syria. After the Roman-appointed King Herod was forced to flee, a Jewish government was established. Wracked by internal dissension, and facing a mighty foe, the Jewish forces fought desperately to defend their newly-established state-but in vain. Under the command of Vespasian, then his son Titus, and finally the legate General Silva, Roman forces overcame the Jewish strongholds one by one. Finally, only two major strongholds remained: Jerusalem, held by the Sadducee Jerusalemites and the Zealots, and the mountaintop fortress of Masada, held by the Sicarii. It took the Romans more than a year to overcome the defenses of Jerusalem and Masada. Jerusalem was razed to the ground, and its inhabitants massacred. At Masada, the Romans built a mighty ramp up the mountain, only to be greeted by the sight of the mass suicide of the 960 defenders.
