The development of satellite communications has been an exciting one with many challenges. Technical problems had to be solved, the science of operation of equipment in outer space understood and ways found to meet the unending demand for services. The visionaries, pioneers and all those involved in this almost unparalleled evolution are to be congratulated. Historically it is evident that the developments that have led to the world as we know it today have been driven very significantly by the role of enhanced, large-volume global communi cations of all kinds (a subject which would warrant further material in its own right). Considering the British Interplanetary Society motto From imagination to reality, it is the authors' opinion that this is most apt regarding satellite communi cations and should not to be forgotten for the future, which looks as equally exciting, if not more so, as the past!
