    Written with the working and teaching engineer in mind, this self-contained manual shows readers how to perform those types of calculations that are the bread and butter of satellite systems engineering. These calculations are then applied to the estimation of such basic communications parameters as channel capacity, picture quality, signal-to-noise ratio, bit error rate, and earth station antenna size, as well as basic spacecraft parameters, including mass, primary power and orbital lifetime, and launch vehicle payload.
