Textbook in PDF format

Imagine if all satellite services would close down for even a few hours. The global consequences of such a catastrophic event – even for specialists in the field – would be hard to grasp. We can easily imagine huge disruptions in telecommunications traffic and banking operations occurring within minutes. In time, chaos would spread to stock markets, television broadcasts, weather forecasting, and storm alerts, as well as airline travel. By the second hour, the problems would have even spread to activities like education, health care, and many other basic services of industry and government. Some years back, a communications satellite failed and the satellitebased pager system for many doctors, surgeons, police, and firemen suddenly went down. For the first time people began to realize just how dependent they were on satellites in their daily lives.
