AbstractAt present, satellite communication is rarely pursued in laboratory exercises at educational institutions around the world. The idea that it is a prohibitively expensive venture contributes to the lack of such exercises. While this may be true for commercial endeavors, strictly educational pursuits of space-based communication are accessible to institutions and even individuals through the Amateur Satellite Service. It is thus proposed that this service be used as a means to acquire knowledge and skills in the field and subfields of satellite communication.
