Abstract
This chapter discusses the challenges of integrating space and terrestrial systems as well as some of the unique solutions and approaches to solving those challenges. While the first satellite systems were stand-alone and akin to a private network in today’s terminology, virtually all current satellite systems are interconnected through some component of the terrestrial infrastructure: e.g., the Internet, PSTN, or private fiber. This chapter presents examples of the current challenges in integrating space and terrestrial systems by considering two satellite system classes which have unique requirements for interconnection and interoperability: the Mobile Satellite Systems (MSS) and the Broadband Satellite Systems for Internet Access.
