Using Space—Today and Tomorrow, Volume 2: Communications Satellite Symposium contains the proceedings of the 28th International Astronautical Congress held in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1977. The papers explore all aspects of communications satellites, including critical institutional and economic issues; operational, experimental, and future systems; and technology and transmission techniques. This volume consists of 11 chapters and begins with a discussion on the history and growth of the INTELSAT system, from INTELSAT I in 1965 to INTELSAT V in 1979. The following chapters focus on the development of communication satellite systems in Europe; the international organization of space communications ""INTERSPUTNIK""; Canada's satellite telecommunications plans for the 1980s; and the use of satellites for disaster communications. The Russian satellite TV broadcasting system ""EKRAN"" is also described. Progress in spacecraft technology, system capability, and user utility provided by the space shuttle is examined, along with design factors affecting the lifetime of communications satellites. The final chapter is devoted to two major digital transmission technologies for satellite multiple access: Single Channel per Carrier (SCPC) and Multichannel per Carrier (MCPC). This book will appeal to satellite communications engineers as well as policymakers concerned with communications satellites and space exploration more generally.

Magnetic nanowires and microwires are key tools in the development ofenhanced devices for information technology (memory and data processing) andsensing. Offering the combined characteristics of high density, high speed, andnon-volatility, they facilitate reliable control of the motion of magnetic domainwalls; a key requirement for the development of novel classes of logic and storagedevices. Part One introduces the design and synthesis of magnetic nanowires andmicrowires, reviewing the growth and processing of nanowires and nanowireheterostruct... using such methods as sol-gel and electrodepositioncom... focused-electron/ion... deposition, chemicalvapour transport, quenching and drawing and magnetic interactions. Magneticand transport properties, alongside domain walls, in nano- and microwiresare then explored in Part Two, before Part Three goes on to explore a widerange of applications for magnetic nano- and microwire devices, includingmemory, microwave and electrochemical applications, in addition to thermalspin polarization and configuration, magnetocalorific effects and Bloch pointdynamics.
