Satellite System Fundamentals [PDF]

open access: possible, 2003
In the global communication infrastructure, satellite communication networks are important parts of any wide-area telecommunication system. Satellites have a unique capability for providing communication services over large geographical areas. Since 1965, when the first commercial satellite for international communication, Early Bird, was successfully ...

Tethered Satellite Systems

Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 1989
T following three papers on tethered satellite systems grew out of session 110 of the AIAA 26th Aerospace Sciences Meeting, held in Reno, Nevada, in January 1988. Interest in such systems, which goes back several years, has been evinced by NASA, various Italian space research activities, and, most recently, by the Japanese. While no tethered spacecraft

The Teledesic satellite system [PDF]

open access: possibleProceedings of IEEE National Telesystems Conference - NTC '94, 2002
There is a significant worldwide demand for broadband communications capacity. Teledesic plans to meet this demand using a constellation of 924 low-Earth orbit (LEG) satellites operating in Ka-band (30/20 GHz). The Teledesic constellation incorporates over 100000 active-element phased-array antennas.

satellite navigation systems

2016
This chapter describes the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) used for positioning and navigation applications. Although a satellite navigation system is very complex, it is common to speak of a “satellite navigation system sensor” when referring to the tools that an end user needs in order to exploit the functionalities of a satellite ...

Optical Satellite Systems

2016
This chapter applies the knowledge from Chapter 3 to a few illustrative satellite systems. The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most impressive illustrations of the technology, even after 25 years of service. Smaller (commercial) systems are described as well, and illustrations are given of nighttime imaging.

Introduction to Satellite Navigation Systems

2013
The “youngest” of the major satellite applications is the field of satellite navigation. This field of measurement and ranging through the use of satellite positioning systems first started in the context of scientific research. This initial use of satellites was simply for positioning and location.

Satellite Systems and Construction

2017
Satellites are complex electromechanical devices composed of many interconnected systems designed and constructed to support the specific functions for which the satellite is intended. Because satellites are very expensive and are inaccessible once in operation, satellite systems must be designed and constructed with the highestquality components.

Satellite-Based Navigation Systems

2012
This chapter focuses on various satellite-based navigation systems. The most well-known and widespread system currently used for localization of a radio-receiving terminal is the global positioning system (GPS). All GPS satellites share the same frequency bands, making use of the code division multiple access (CDMA) technique. The transmitted signal on

A satellite system for CATV

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1970
The increasing capacity of CATV systems has generated a demand for more program material than can be economically generated with local facilities. A possible solution is a nationwide satellite distribution system dedicated to CATV which would provide the additional material directly to the CATV head-end.
