COMMUNICATION SATELLITES
A communication satellite is an artificial satellite sent to space for the purpose of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites use a variety of orbits including: geostationary, molniya orbits, elliptical orbits, and low (polar and non-polar earth orbits.
For fixed (point to point) services, communication satellites provide a microwave radio relay technology complementary to that of communication cables. They are also used for mobile applications such as communications ships, vehicles, planes and hand – held terminals and for TV and radio broadcasting.

NETWORKS
A computer network, or simply a network is a collection of computers and other hardware components interconnected by communication channels that allow sharing of resources and information .where at least one process in one device is able to send/receive data to/from at least one process residing in a remote device, then the two devices are said to be in a network. Simply, more than one computer interconnected through a communication medium for information interchange is called a computer network. Networks may be classified according to a wide variety of characteristics, such as the medium used to transport the data, communications protocol used, scale, topology and organizational scope.

EXTRANETS
An extranet is a computer network that allows controlled access from the outside, for specific business or educational purposes. In a business-to-business context, an extranet can be viewed as an extension of an organization's intranet that is extended to users outside the organization, usually partners, vendors, and suppliers, in isolation from all other Internet users. In contrast,

    In 1945 Arthur C. Clarke wrote an article entitled "The Future of World Communications" for the magazine Wireless World. This article, which the editors renamed "Extra-Terrestrial Relays", was published in the October issue. In it Clarke described the properties of the geostationary orbit, a circular orbit in the equatorial plane of the earth such that a satellite appears to hover over a fixed point on the equator. The period of revolution is equal to the period of rotation of the earth with respect to the stars, or 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds, and thus by Kepler's third law the orbital radius is 42,164 km. Taking into account the radius of the earth, the height of a satellite above the equator is 35,786 km.…

    Satellites have benefited our everyday lives. "Communication satellites are responsible for instantaneous television coverage of events all over the globe, for the speed of international banking and finance, for the almost-immediate delivery of vast amounts of information, and for international e-mail and telephone service to all parts of the Earth." ("Neal 186") When a person watches television, the television is sent from the station to a satellite and to a local provider. Without satellites, a person would be able to only watch local stations, but with satellites a person can watch a television program from anywhere in the world, talk to anyone, or even send e-mail.…

    The outer space has always fascinated people on the earth and communication through space evolved as an offshoot of ideas for space travel. The earliest idea of using artificial satellites for communications is found in a science fiction Brick Moon by Edward Evert Hale, published in 1869-70. While the early fictional accounts of satellite and space communications bear little resemblance to the technology as it exists to day, they are of significance since they represent the origins of the idea from which the technology eventually evolved. In the area of satellite communications, the technology has been responsive to the imaginative dreams. Hence it is also expected that technological innovations will lead the evolution of satellite communications towards the visions of today.…
