Overview

Satellite operations encompass the design, launch, and management of artificial satellites that orbit the Earth and other celestial bodies. These operations are critical for a range of applications, including telecommunications, weather forecasting, navigation, and Earth observation. The industry has evolved significantly since the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, with notable players like SpaceX and OneWeb pushing the boundaries of satellite constellations. However, the rapid expansion raises concerns about space debris and regulatory challenges. As satellite technology continues to advance, the balance between innovation and sustainability will shape the future of global communications and data collection.
