What is the best TV satellite system for a motorhome?
It depends on what kind of motorhome and when you want to watch Dish TV. If you will be mobile and wanting television, you will need a self adjusting satellite dish; there are also stationary satellite dishes available. As far as a satellite system, I prefer Dish TV because of the price, channel selection and technology. Dish Network also has a affordable portable satellite dish that does not attach to your motor-home called the Dish Tailgater.
Does the satellite requires power to revolve around the earth?
No. Once the satellite is placed in orbit, its momentum will keep it orbiting along its original path - more of less. "More or less" means: 1. The satellite may need minute adjustments to its position, so that it can photograph its intended targets (stars/planets, the earth), or can keep in contact with its intended radio/television/mobile phone services, and 2. A satellite's orbit will slowly decay, and the satellite would eventually come into the outer atmosphere, begin to slow down, and burn up as its orbit brought it into denser air. For both these reasons, satellites may use small "positioning" thrusters to steer and to regain orbital speed.
Why satellites are placed at an altitude of 36000 km is there any reason for such an long altitude pls answer thanks in advance?
The closer to the Earth, the faster the orbit; this is basic math, as determined Johannes Kepler centuries ago. The higher the orbit, the slower the satellite goes. IN 1947, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke wrote an article and a story based on the curious coincidence that if a satellite were placed in an equatorial orbit 23,000 miles (or 36,000 km) up, the satellite would orbit the Earth at precisely the speed that the Earth itself turns. The satellite would appear to be suspended, motionless, in the sky! Since an Earth-based antenna would not need any rotors or pointing mechanisms to track an unmoving satellite, the antenna could be made larger - MUCH larger. We now call that orbit "geo-synchronous", and that's where we park communications satellites, and TV satellites. It didn't occur to Arthur Clarke to patent his invention; and because he did not, the satellite communications revolution proceeded unimpaired by patent lawsuits.
What was the satellite TV network?
Orbita (1967) - first national network of satellite tv which was created in Soviet Union Anik 1 (1972) - first domestic north American satellite to carry television in Canada ATS-6 (1974) - world's first experimental educational and direct broadcast satellite Ekran (1976) - the first soviet geostationary satellite to carry direct-to-home television
What is a geostation satellite?
Geostationary satellites orbit high above the surface of the earth at about 35,000km, directly above the equator. The take the same time to complete one orbit as the earths surface as it rotates meaning it is always above the same point on earth. They are used for TV and telephone signals as well as weather imagery, among other things. A satellites period, the time it takes it to go around the earth, is determined, in part, by its altitude. The further away it is then the longer it will take. You can calculate an altitude where it will take just one day to make an orbit. If this is done then though the satellite orbits the earth it appears to be stationary above one point of the earth. This orbit must be above, or very near to, the equator. For the earth this altitude is approximately 36,000 km (22,000 miles)
Why a polar orbit is not suitable for satellite television?
it is too cold and there is no power lines to get signal
What is the tv satellites orbit called?
The tv satellites orbit called is a geo stationery.
How satellite pictures of earth are made and transmitted?
Satellite pictures of Earth are taken by a camera mounted on a satellite in orbit, high above Earth's atmosphere. They are transmitted wirelessly over satellite signals, much like satellite TV.
What happens with satellite TV when there is a sun outage?
The Sun is the prime energy source for the planet earth. It burns and gives the planet light every day. The sun never goes out, but at certain times during the orbit of the satellite, the sun will affect how the satellite transmits. This is called a "sun outage" Sometimes, the sun will release large plasma masses called Coronal Mass Ejections, and these events may disrupt satellite TV. Satellite TV interference is common due to solar radiation, solar wind, and CMEs.
Where is direct tv main satellite in orbit?
I believe it is 61.5. It also depends on your programming selection.
What is satellite dish?
A satellite dish is a parabolic television antenna that receives signals from communication satellites in orbit around the earth. Its sole function is to provide the television viewer with a wider variety of channels.
Who discovered the tv satellite?
Satellites for television weren't discovered. They were developed by scientists and engineers and launched into orbit using space rockets. The development of the Telstar satellite was taken on by companies in the US, Britain and France. The first television satellite was launched in 1962 and was used for transatlantic television links between broadcasters. Since then, hundreds of satellites have been launched into geo-stationary orbit to serve direct television broadcasts to homes.
Do all satellites orbit the same direction?
No, all satellites do not orbit Earth at the same altitude. An good overview of this can be found on http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx. This overview reviews Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit and Geostationary Orbits.
Satellite of earth?
A satellite of earth that is not man made is the moon. There are many satellites that are man made that orbit the earth. These satellites are used for communication between Internet and television viewing.
What is the significance of the geo orbit radius in relation to satellite communication?
The geo orbit radius is significant in satellite communication because it determines the satellite's position relative to the Earth. Satellites in geostationary orbit, which have a radius of about 22,236 miles, appear stationary from the Earth's surface. This allows for continuous communication with fixed ground stations, making them ideal for services like television broadcasting and weather monitoring.
Is a geo-stationary satellite useful?
If that translates as a geosynchronous satellite, then yes it is useful. This is a satellite which, once attaining high orbit, its speed is synchronized to the speed of the earth's orbit. This permits the satellite to remain in the same stationary position over a given portion of the earth's surface. These types of satellites are useful for communications such as weather and television etc. as there is no loss of signal. At least, that's the idea if one discounts a snowstorm or heavy rain and the tv goes out.
When did people get to watch Satellite TV?
1963 by using a geosynchronous communication satellite called the Syncom Watch satellilte tv with satellite tv tuner like TBS TV Tuners
