| Summary: | A summary of the remarkable work being done in the study and analysis of extraterrestrial materials. The book reflects the ingenuity and inventiveness in developing satellite and spacecraft measurement techniques and instruments of high sensitivity and precision, as well as analytical methods for materials which have never been seen before and in which the detection of anomalies is critical to an understanding of the solar system and its origin. It surveys and evaluates detection methods for their reliability, sensitivity and usefulness. The book is also well-illustrated, and contains many tables. |
