After this, launch issues will be discussed, with current and >future world's launch capabilities and policies presented. Focus will be >given to conversion launchers and new products on the market. As the last >point, satellite conversion and re-use projects will be discussed, focusing >on the Iridium case.

Special attention will be given to little known >Soviet and Russian projects. Relevant software and hardware combinations for >the purpose will be presented, together with decoding software for telemetry >and sample digital signal processing, tracking software solutions and >tracking hardware combinations. Further the presentation will focus on the >use of tracking for practical communication purposes in the amateur field. >After this, geo-stationary earth orbit satellite interception and reception >issues will be presented, together with the known current world >constellation.
