      abstract = {"This book is a unique combination of practical payload  systems engineering and communications theory and  applications. Payload systems engineering itself is a  complex endeavor that people only learn on the job over  many years' time, and this book hopes to ease their  learning path. There are detailed books on how to design  the various kinds of units, e.g., antennas, of a payload  but seemingly no books focusing on unit performance at a  level appropriate for systems engineering.Potential  satellite owners, few of whom have worked in the satellite  field, need help to understand how to get what they want  from the manufacturer.The satellite bus, particular  satellites, and particular and general satellite  communications systems have been written about in several  books, but the payload has received typically a few pages  in all these books"--},
