Satellites and Constellations
StubSatellites as a product: orbit regimes, CubeSats, constellation design, Earth observation, navigation, communications, and the ground segment and debris environment they operate in.
The three commercial regimes compared on latency, coverage, radiation and cost.
02CubeSats and small satellitesThe standardized form factor that changed who can fly, and what it can and cannot do.
03Constellation designTurning a coverage requirement into a set of orbital planes.
04Earth observationOptical, radar and hyperspectral remote sensing, and the products they produce.
05GNSS and positioningHow GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and NavIC actually deliver a position.
06Communications satellitesGEO wide-beam through LEO broadband, and the economics of each.
07Space debris and traffic managementThe debris population, conjunction assessment, and the rules keeping orbits usable.
08Ground segmentAntennas, networks, scheduling and operations centers: the half of the system on Earth.
