This review is from: Newnes Satellite Communications Pocket Book (Hardcover)
This book attempts to cover what is a very wide-ranging and complex subject in a format suitable to the lay reader or electronics/space enthusiast. It's doubtful whether professional engineers working in the field of satellite communications would get much out of this publication.

Although there is something to be said for the layout and the easy-to-find reference material, it is disappointing to see that much of the book is composed of cuttings from various "fact sheets" and brochures produced by space organisations. This results in numerous minor inaccuracies and use of data which is now rapidly being overtaken by events.

That said, it's an inexpensive and readable little book which, despite its shortcomings, might appeal to the non-specialist.
