- Satellite assemblies can only contain resources(.resources files/.resx files)
- They cannot contain any executable code.
- Satellites are loaded by a .NET class called System.Resources.ResourceManager.
- It helps you to localize your assembly
- For example, use different strings for different locales
- One of the application of satellite assembly is multi language support
- ie, keep separate resource file for each languages and load data from the resource files
- Satellite assemblies can be installed in the GAC
