SATELLITES ON
DISK LIBRARY:
GLOBAL EDITION 2000 QUICK TOUR
![]()
The Satellite Index provides links that take the user directly to the descriptive entry for any geostationary satellite system in the SATELLITES ON DISK CD-ROM Library. Over 300 illustrated pages of technical descriptions are provided in the Library. Only the links to the Thaicom and Measat satellite systems are active for the purposes of this quick tour.
Summary Charts for all In-Orbit Satellites and Future Geostationary Satellites are also provided. In the commercial edition of this product, these charts contain links to Library entries describing each satellite. Links are disabled for the purposes of this quick tour.
Use the Navigation Buttons at the bottom of each Quick Tour page to view examples of the other sections of the SATELLITES-ON-DISK CD-ROM Library
Click on the "What's New" icon at the bottom of this page to receive the latest edition of the MLESAT.COM Digest newsletter that is part of our Satellites-on-Line companion service.
It will take several minutes to download these files from the Internet so some patience is required.
The off-line CD-ROM version is very fast and limited only by the speed of your computer's processor.
