M. Foster is a scientific publication written in the early 1960s. This work explores how basic physical principles are applied to overcome the challenges of communicating via man-made satellites. The book serves as both a historical account and an educational resource, highlighting significant advancements in satellite technology and the engineering feats involved. The opening of the text presents a foreword by John R. Pierce, detailing the evolution of satellite communications from initial discussions to the successful launch of the Telstar satellite in 1962. It outlines the motivation behind developing satellite communications, emphasizing the need for improved international communication channels in a rapidly changing world. The introduction clarifies that while the book touches on physics, it is not a textbook; instead, it provides insights into the technological advancements and case studies of specific satellite communication problems encountered by scientists and engineers at Bell Laboratories.
