A comprehensive, one‑volume reference on satellite technology and its diverse applications — from communications to remote sensing, navigation, meteorology, scientific research, and military uses. The second edition provides in‑depth coverage of satellite fundamentals: orbits and trajectories; launch and in‑orbit operations; satellite hardware; communication techniques; multiple‑access methods; and link design. It also adds new material on earth‑station design, space‑based weapon systems, satellite interference, and modern trends in satellite networks. Richly illustrated and including worked problems with solutions, the book serves both as a textbook for students and a practical reference for engineers and professionals working in satellite and telecommunication systems.
