This chapter discusses communication satellites with emphasis on the underlying principles, the application potential and the contemporary status of these application areas. Telecommunication satellites provide a varied range of services mainly including television and radio broadcasting, international telephony and data communication services; most of these services are multipurpose in nature. The bands of interest for satellite communications lie above 100MHz including the VHF, UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku and Ka bands. Transponder is the key payload of any communication satellite. A brief outline on the basic satellite communication link set‐up is given in the chapter. The chapter provides a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of communication satellites with terrestrial networks. Various satellite missions are broadly classified into three categories namely, international, regional and domestic systems; these systems are described in the chapter. The chapter ends with a discussion on the future trends in the field of communication satellites.
