How to deploy a satellite and what are the costs?

Hello,

I'm into microcontrollers and programming and would love to send my own small cube satellite into space (one day).

But there are a few things I have zero experience with, and these are:

• When the satellite is in space, it needs to correct its position to always point the camera on earth
• During launch of the rocket my cube sat needs to be as robust as possible
• I can not manufacture the case myself
• Power supply + battery
• Providing in-orbit (OTA) updates - This needs to be bullet-proof working
• Space RF communication protocols and best-use technologies - I need to read about it more
• Software security best practices in orbit
• Suitable ground station hardware
• Which deployment orbit
• Deployment mechanism
• Radiation-hardened MCUs and SBCs - Which models? I just know consumer models like ESP32, STM, Raspberry Pico, Arduino, etc.

Can you recommend a good read on that? A book or pdf? Is there anyone with experience?

(This project is btw on my bucket list before I die, it's not urgent though)

Best,
