Abstract
The first part of this two parts publication starts with a historical introduction of satellite communication from geostationary orbit. Early thoughts about the need of on-board processing (OBP) are described forming the base to develop such technologies. The first European development of OBP is described in detail. Part II starts with the description of developments of complete OBP systems using Ka-band technology. Out of these system activities the Skyplex and the AmerHis system were developed, realised, launched and operated. The description of these systems is followed by some technological considerations, which would, based on the still valid Moore’s law in the field of semiconductor technology, lead to very advanced space communication systems helping to satisfy the still tremendously growing hunger for bandwidth by humanity.
