The development of communication satellites is surveyed. Major satellite systems are described. Their data handling characteristics are mentioned and physical parameters are given. With increasing demand for communication services via satellites and limited orbital positions in geosynchronous orbit, there is a trend to larger communication satellite platforms (3000 kg mass or more). An advanced U.S. platform concept (approximately 10,000 kg satellite mass) and the European Geoplatform are shown as examples of future systems.
