DIY Instruments for Amateur Space: Inventing Utility for Your Spacecraft Once It Achieves Orbit

Antunes does an excellent job of distilling a broad and complex area into key elements suitable for the hobbyist wanting to commence their exploration of remote sensing for a micro-sat platform. I'm planning on reading through again, and I'd certainly recommend this title (together with it's other volumes) as a worthy read for all those keen on the nascent hobbyist space field.

A very basic introduction to amateur space instruments. It covers what you need to know to due additional research. All in all a good starting point.

The book's contents are superb however all of the text and captions that discuss the different wavelengths and meanings of the various color gradations in the books photos are unfortunately ALL printed in black and white! The book is stuffed with photos which are near useless without the discussed colors; sad to see because otherwise I would have given it a 4 or 5. I can't believe the other reviewers didn't mention this obvious flaw... makes me wonder if they are real or not...

Necessary. This book and the others he wrote follow an interesting and very necessary trend. When you consider that sending things into space started off as a DIY trend in its entirety we are in good stead.

good discussion of the topic.

Great

Very interesting. Full of good background information

Great introduction to satellites for all ages.

This is a fascinating book. It explains instrumentation required for amateur satellite operation in considerable detail. If nothing else, it will give you an appreciation for the art of space exploration.

近年は自分で製作したキューブサット等の人工衛星を軌道に投入するハードルが低くなりつつあり、個人でもできるようになりつつあります。本書はそのような目標を持つ方にお勧めです。

Ha llegado en tan solo cuatro dias.Bien, voy a comparar la versión Kindle y el libro físico en papel.- La versión Kindle es muy básica y parece cualquier libro pasado a digital sin mas. Toda la letra pegada, faltas ortográficas, y falta de información.- El libro físico está muy bien escrito y estructurado.- Lo único positivo que tiene la version Kindle, son las imagenes a color, ya que en el libro están a escala de grises.Recomiendo comprar la colección de seis libros en físico si eren un entusiasta de Arduino y el espacio.

As awesome as expected. Every bit of page is perfect, nothing is damaged and I am amazed by the quality of knowledge it provides in such low price. It is an awesome experience and it will help me a lot.

Estos libros nos acercan algo tan costoso como la ingeniería aerospacial a un DIY. El estándar cubesats ha abierto muchas puertas, y estos libros enseñan muy bien cómo exprimir las características, y como hacer ciencia lowcost utilizando elementos COTS. Muy recomendable.
