Abstract

The main characteristics of present and future detector types for space applications discussed in this volume are summarised in the form of a table. The order follows wavelength range. Only the most important features and capabilities of the detectors in question are listed; details are found in the corresponding chapters, where the abbreviations used are also explained.
