  • Abstract
    GEOSYNCHRONOUS satellite systems designed specially for providing domestic communications to geographically large rural areas are currently under investigation by several countries. The paper presents some significant technical considerations for the economical provision of both telephone and television services to such areas. Satellite launch vehicles, operating radio frequency band(s), spacecraft communications implementation and earth station engineering are discussed.
