Abstract - The growth of research publications published in the field of satellite Communication literature during the study period 2011-2020. Altogether 12168 publications were published. A maximum of 1156 (12.79%) was published in the year 2018. Followed by 1461(12.01%) were published in the year 2016. While less number of research publications 856(7.03%) were published in the year 2013. There is a study growth found in research output from one year to proceed next year. Further, is found that the ratio of growth in an increase in the number of publications per year is 0.86%, and the compound annual growth ratio is 0.64. A maximum RGR of 0.59 has been recorded in the year 2012 and the minimum RGR of 0.10 has been counted in the year 2020, while the maximum doubling time of 7.00 has been counted in the year 2020 and the minimum doubling time of 1.17 has been counted in the year 2012. In the study, a maximum of 100(17.61%) research publications are contributed by Panagopoulos, A.D. in China. A maximum of 6840(56.28%) research publications are contributed by Conference papers. The highest percentage of 2797(22.99% is recorded by three authors, the mean of the degree of collaboration during the study period shows 0.86. The mean CI is 3.76, and the mean CC is 0.642. The mean MCC is 3.76. A maximum of 3373(32.90%) research publications are contributed by China. And a maximum of 250(15.99%) research publications are contributed by proceedings of the international astronautically congress iac. A maximum of 227(12.80%) research publications are contributed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Time-series analysis research publications in the year 2025 are around are equal to 1717 and in the year 2030 is around are equal to 1967. So that time serious analysis confirmed is increasing trend.
