This unique book presents first-hand histories, case studies, and lessons learned from many of the pioneers who built the satellite industry. They share the experiences, technologies, and business challenges that led to the successful development of an industry that is woven into the very core of our everyday lives. Historically important photographs throughout the book help to illuminate these compelling narratives. In each of these success stories, students, entrepreneurs, and business leaders in a range of disciplines will find valuable material and important lessons that can be applied to their own dreams and plans—in established as well as uncharted territories.
