Description
Summary:Observations and communications in the Antarctic region will be greatly developed by using satellites. The satellite technology is applied to : 1) communications between the stations in the Antarctic region and their mother countries, 2) domestic communications in the Antarctic region, 3) remote sensings of the Antarctic region, 4) observations of the ionosphere and the magnetosphere in the polar reeion.In this paper, possibilities of these applications are discussed, and an Antarctic satellite project is proposed.
