Do you mean communications satellites? Or other NASA/scientific satellites? I would think that a heavy emphasis on communication theory would serve you well, as well as perhaps an internship at a company that designs and deploys comm satellites.

Glad to help. BTW, I just noticed that the ARRL has a "Satellite Handbook" -- probably pretty practical and useful for your interests:

You might search a bit for Ka, Ku, and C radio frequency bands which are allocated for satellite use. try checking "GPS" system...

Also, try Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_communication

The article gives a decent overview...and note MANY references at the end of the article.
