Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a systems engineering methodology to design an end-to-end satellite network that covers space, ground and control segments, as well as meets future multimedia application requirements. The satellite network industry usually practices system design and deployment but do not lay emphasis on the systems engineering methodology phase. Logically, systems engineering methodology would be introduced at an early stage of the network design. It would include technical system tradeoff studies, which would result in a baseline architecture. Systems engineering for satellite systems provides a quantitative approach and avoids engineering and technology risks before implementation. The practice of systems engineering methodology results in significant cost savings.
