The picosatellite field has exploded, going from fewer than 10

launched per year to over 100 launches halfway through 2015.

You no longer need access to a large university or lab to launch

a satellite. Even a motivated high school group can build (and

launch) one.

Radio spectrum for commanding (and receiving data from) satellites

is a shared resource with subtle hurdles. This book walks the

path originally paved by AMSATs to discuss the steps and licensing

needed to set up and operate both a command uplink and a

data download station and network. Find out how playing nicely

with others maximizes your ability to get your data down.

Satellite communications dominate current and planned military and government communications systems and make Net-Centric Warfare possible. This course provides a review of current and future military satellite communications. Internet protocol (IP) and IP over Satellite (IPoS) are addressed showing this protocol's strengths and weaknesses as a facilitator of Net-Centric warfare.

The United States is a global leader in the development and deployment of advanced, space-based technologies. Yet there is relatively little public awareness of the scope and scale or the economic benefits of these space-based technologies and even less recognition of the core public resource needed to operate and support them: radio-frequency spectrum. This report aims to provide basic information that will help increase public understanding of the scope and value of these space-based operations and the importance of their access to spectrum. It describes the wide range of government and commercial space-based operations and the value they provide to the economy and our quality of life, both here in the United States and globally. The report also contains detailed information about the specific frequencies used by these systems—a hopefully useful tool for policymakers and others going forward.
