Skrócony opis: |
The lecture is devoted to different types of instrumentation and phenomena which can be applied in space engineering |
Pełny opis: |
The purpose of this monographic lecture is to provide introduction about novel techniques, methods, instruments which are used in astronomy. Course learning objectives: 1. Introduction to space engineering; 2. Space optics and optical coatings; 3. Ground-based telescopes and observations; 4. Atmospheric turbulence challenges and adaptive optics; 5. Different types of satellites, other space instruments and observations from space; 6. Different types of Interferometric instruments; 7. Different types of Spectroscopic instruments; 8. Astrometric instruments; 9. Space Fiber optics and photonics; 10. Different types of sensors; 11. Radio astronomy instruments; 12. Chemistry in space engineering; 13. Astrobiology and its challenges; 14. Avionics and astronautics. This lecture will be concentrated to basic concept of space and astronomical engineering and it will give brief understanding in how various instruments are formed, their working principle, challenges, not to mention various novel aspects of optics, biology, chemistry will be provided. The lecture does not require full knowledge in these fields, however, basic understandment of various astronomical, physical, chemical and biological phenomena is needed. |
