This concluding chapter of the book discusses an assortment of topics representing some of the emerging trends in the field of satellite technology and its applications. It begins with a discussion on some non‐conventional technologies such as space tethers and their possible use in executing propellant‐less satellite orbit manoeuvres, generation of electric power for satellites and as space elevators, robotic drones for satellite stabilization and aerostats for surveillance, reconnaissance and communication relay applications. This is followed up by a detailed discussion on millimetre wave satellites, emerging concepts in space station technology and satellite services, including inflatable space modules and space docking.
