Telecommunications Brochures
ESA Telecommunications: current technology and future challenges
BR-248: Satellite Telecommunications
- Part of our Daily Lives
Without us realising it, satellite communications permeate our lives. Many everyday events that we take for granted happen because telecommunications satellites are in orbit, 36 000 km above our heads - they are reliable and can be used in a plethora of ways.
BR-251: The First Gallileo Satellites
Galileo is the first satellite positioning, navigation and timing system designed specifically for civil use. The first two satellites, GIOVE-A and -B, will validate the system before deployment of the full 30-satellite system.

BR-254: Satellite Telecommunications
- Market Perspectives and Industrial Situation
Satellite Telecommunications is the most mature and economically most important of the space applications. In Europe it constitutes the core industrial activity for satellite manufacturers. The health of the global Satellite Telecommunications market determines to a great extent the sustainability, and therefore the continuity, of European Space Industry.
BR-256: The Telecommunications
Long-Term Plan 2006-2010
Satellite telecommunications is by far the most important space sector for the European satellite manufacturing industry, representing more that 50% of satellite activities in Europe. This sector is mainly dominated by the worldwide commercial
market, where the customers are private entities and the competitors are the large US manufacturers, in contrast to the other sectors such as science, Earth observation, human spaceflight, navigation, etc. In the last twenty years, European
industry, benefiting from limited public support, has demonstrated its competence and its ability to export by capturing a significant part of the open market.
