Satellite Technology: A great Introduction!!

I really enjoyed this book, despite it's small size. Although somewhat outdated, I would say that 90% of the information provided was very helpful, and explains satellite technology in layman's terms, and has good graphics to assist in the explanations. Highly recommended for those just starting out in satcom.

Outstanding Intro to Satellites

An excellent introduction to satellite communications. I use this book constantly to provide non-engineers and engineers alike with simple answers to common questions. I hand this book out to new employees as well as customers so that we can speak a common language.In addition, with the authors permission I used this as the textbook to teach students a Vo-Technical high school.I highly recommend this book.
