INTELLIGENT SATELLITE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION Integrate cutting-edge technology into spacecraft design with this groundbreaking work Artificial intelligence and machine learning have revolutionized virtually every area of computing and complex engineering, and the design of satellite spacecraft is no exception. Intelligent satellites are increasingly capable of human-like perception, decision-making, and operations, and their problem-solving capacities are still expanding. As AI and machine learning continue to advance, their integration into satellite manufacture will only deepen. Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation seeks to understand the foundations of this integration and its likely directions in the coming years. Beginning from the basic principles of interaction between artificial intelligence and satellite design and mission planning, the book analyzes a series of current or potential areas of technological advancement to create a comprehensive overview of the subject. Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation readers will also find: Background information on the introduction and development of artificial intelligence Detailed discussion of topics including autonomous satellite operation, remote sensing satellites, and many more Over 100 illustrations and tables to reinforce key concepts Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation is ideal for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in engineering, computing, and spacecraft design programs, as well as researchers in these and related fields.

5G Non-Terrestrial Networks Provides a complete and detailed description of the non-terrestrial component in the 5G ecosystem 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks is the first multi-authored reference dedicated to the integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTN) into the 5G ecosystem. Written by leaders in the development of the 3GPP 5G NTN specification, this authoritative resource addresses all key aspects of non-terrestrial components of 5G systems, including standardization, architecture, protocols, and regulatory considerations. Drawing from their expertise in academic and industrial research and development, the authors introduce fundamental principles of non-terrestrial communications, define the NTN architecture and radio protocol stacks, describe applications to support mobility and radio resource management, and more. The book covers 5G New Radio-based technology for NTN as well as LTE NB-IoT/eMTC, providing a well-rounded understanding of the unique characteristics of 5G-NTN systems. Throughout the text, the authors offer insights on various design approaches, technical choices, and trade-off options. In addition, the book: Addresses the integration of non-terrestrial networks into 5G systems at all levels Describes the principles of non-terrestrial systems, including orbital parameters, link budget, propagation, and space/ground segments Includes a detailed overview of 5G-NTN system architectures, deployment scenarios, and spectrum aspects Covers NB-IoT and eMTC in NTN, NTN use cases, 5G QoS, and New Radio Discusses the potential of non-terrestrial components of 5G in the future 6G ecosystem 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks is a must-have for communication engineers, satellite network operators, aerospace and electrical engineers, network engineers, academic researchers and industry professionals involved in 5G infrastructure development, as well as advanced students taking courses on 5G and satellite communication.

This book explores the United States reliance on space operations for its security. Identifying vulnerabilities will allow us to apply our full range of capabilities to ensure space superiority and continued support to joint military operations across the spectrum of conflict. Space superiority is as much about protecting our space assets as it is about preparing to counter an enemy's space or anti-space assets. Space-based technologies and services permit people to communicate, companies to do business, civic groups to serve the public and scientists to conduct research. Thus, the United States is very reliant on satellites and will likely continue to be for many years to come. Today, small nations, groups, and individuals can acquire ground target data from commercial imagery sources, navigation and weather data from government-owned satellites and state of the art command and control capabilities through commercial communications satellites. These functions are also discussed in this book.
