Satellite networks have emerged as a crucial component of modern communication systems. Historically, traditional terrestrial communication networks faced limitations in reaching remote and isolated areas. Conversely, Satellite networks possess the ability to provide coverage over vast geographical regions, including areas where laying terrestrial infrastructure is impractical or prohibitively expensive. The development of satellite networks was driven by the increasing demand for global connectivity, enabling seamless communication across various applications such as navigation, remote sensing, weather monitoring, and telecommunications. Moreover, advancements in technology have made satellite networks more efficient and capable. The launch of smaller yet more powerful satellites has reduced costs while increasing data transmission capacity and speed. They also play a vital role in disaster management and emergency response. This paper mainly focuses on analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of satellite networks along with several challenges encountered during their application in different fields. Considering that satellite network technology continues to develop at a significant pace, this study will also discuss future trends and make predictions accordingly. Therefore, through diverse analytical perspectives, this research demonstrates that satellite networks have emerged as critical infrastructure in the modern digital era while highlighting their highly promising prospectsa novel approach often overlooked by existing scientific literaturethus providing ample motivation for scientists to explore this domain.
