This book presents, in great detail, the Hipparcos spacecraft and describes its performance. The reader, whether scientist or engineer, will find here all the information needed to understand fully the principles of the spacecraft and of the mission. Through it, the reader will become acquainted with the complexity of the subsystems and learn how Hipparcos can indeed accurately fulfil its ambitious programme. The payload, along with the thermal, mechanical and electrical subsystems, is extensively described. A very important section of the book is devoted to the calibration of the payload, and to how the performance in orbit might influence the ultimate accuracy of the measurements.
