Ionizing radiation in aviation and space technology
Abstract
The basic design principles of measuring devices using ionizing radiation for the determination of a variety of parameters pertinent to aviation and space technology are discussed. The applications considered include: determination of parameters of motion from direct and backscattered radiation; the measurement of velocity by a gamma-resonance method; measurement of the densities of the atmospheres and surface layers of planets; analysis of the compositions of planets and their atmospheres. The theoretical basis of the various techniques and devices is presented, together with the results of experimental applications, where available.
