Abstract
Since 1945, when Arther C. Clarke proposed the synchronous motion of satellites with constant angular velocity in lockstep with the earth’s rotation, satellite communication has been a reality. Satellite communications have recently experienced a renaissance in popularity, owing to advancements in technology and private investment. These findings will aid in the direction of future satellite communication research. Onboard processing and data collection are just a few of the primary drivers of innovation while earth observation, and aviation and maritime tracking and communication are few add on area of research applications. The following five axes are discussed in detail: the origins of satellite communication, the components of a satellite link, the advantages and disadvantages of satellite communication, frequency allocation, and the current situation.
