| contents | The rapid expansion of satellite constellations is transforming the radio-frequency environment around the Earth. At the same time, radio astronomy is entering a new era of sensitivity and survey capability, requiring unprecedented control of interference. This primer introduces satellite operators, engineers, spectrum managers and policy makers to the basic concepts of radio astronomy, explains why the discipline is uniquely vulnerable to interference, and outlines the regulatory and practical tools available to manage coexistence. |
