Handbook of Satellite Applications (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2017)

This updated second edition covers the technology, the markets, applications and regulations related to satellite telecommunications, broadcasting and networking-including civilian and military systems; precise satellite navigation and timing networks (i.e. GPS and others); remote sensing and meteorological satellite systems. Created under the auspices of the International Space University based in France, this brand new edition is now expanded to cover new innovative small satellite constellations, new commercial launching systems, innovation in military application satellites and their acquisition, updated appendices, a useful glossary and more.
