Abstract
We are delighted to bring to you this special issue on satellite
communications, which we have prepared as part of the
spreading of excellence remit of the satellite communications
network of excellence (SatNEx). The SatNEx project,
which began in 2004, is funded for five years under the European
Union¿s Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) Information
Society Technologies (IST) Thematic Area. Led by the
German Aerospace Center, SatNEx brings together a network
of 24 partners, distributed throughout Europe, with membership
drawn from ten countries.
The philosophy underlying the SatNEx approach revolves
around the selection of focused actions under Joint
Programmes of Activities, which are carried out collectively
by the partners and include research, integration, and dissemination
activities. Training represents an important part
of the SatNEx remit and is supported through a number of
initiatives including the hosting of internship projects and an
annual summer school.
The call for papers resulted in a high number of submissions,
from which we have been able to select 12 excellent
papers dealing with the different aspects of satellite communications
and navigation.
