Overview of satellite launchers, launch site criteria, and propellant consumption for maneuvers. Understanding of various launch and transfer strategies from inclined Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO). Exploration of rendezvous maneuvers between spacecraft, including both coplanar and phasing strategies. 4. Geostationary Orbit: Clarification of the quasi-geostationary orbit concept. Analysis of antenna look angles, visibility limits, and polarization angles for Earth stations relative to geostationary satellites. Study of Earth eclipses and sun transit outages for satellites in geostationary orbit. 5. Space Segment – Satellite Subsystems Construction: Comprehensive study of key satellite subsystems, including electrical power supply, thermal control, unified propulsion (including orbital control and station-keeping for GEO satellites), telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C), payload communication, and attitude determination and control subsystems. Overview of satellite control station architecture. 6. Antenna Types in Satellite Manufacturing: Examination of commonly used antennas in satellite and Earth station construction, including horn antennas, parabolic reflectors, offset-fed reflectors, and dual-reflector antennas such as Cassegrain and Gregorian designs. 7.
