In his graduate class on systems engineering using satellite-based systems as an example, Sachdev (George Mason U., Virginia) is often asked by students what factors and criteria make a project successful. He thought the question profound enough that he rounded up friends, colleagues, and others in the field to provide answers with reference to specific projects they had worked on. They include such projects as Intelsat, INMARSAT, Thuraya, Eutelsat, how SES built ASTRA into the world's pre-eminent satellite operators, the global positioning system, earth stations from very big to very small, and DARPA's space history.
