International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking aims to provide a quality technical journal for the academic and professional engineer covering all aspects of satellite systems, networks, components and services. The journal focuses on new research results as well systems operation, trials and descriptions and service provision. The goal is to provide a blend of systems oriented and general research papers.

The journal covers all aspects of the theory, practice and operation of satellite systems and networks. Papers must address some aspect of satellite systems or their applications. Topics covered include:

Satellite communication and broadcast systems
Satellite navigation and positioning systems
Satellite networks and networking
Hybrid systems
Equipment-earth stations/terminals, payloads, launchers and components
Description of new systems, operations and trials
Planning and operations
Performance analysis
Interoperability
Propagation and interference
Enabling technologies-coding/modulation/signal processing, etc.
