Can US soldiers stationed in Iraq use satellite radios XM or Sirius and would they be able to receive the signal?
Not according to sirius customer service, you CAN listen online but you can't use a portable player. Satellite radio service is beamed to earth from satellites in orbit. XM had two satellites, one over the eastern US and the other over western US. Sirius presumably had the same setup. No satellite reception is possible out of range of those satellites.
How do satellite transmit data earth?
Usually by radio.
How do satellites transmit data to earth?

What is propogation delay in satellite?
A propagation delay is the amount of time it takes radio waves to travel from the surface of the Earth to the satellite and then back down to the Earth. The calculation of the delay is based upon the altitude and position of the satellite systems.
What does communication satellite do?
A satellite communication simply bounces a radio or data wave to another satellite or a receiver on earth. Satellites all act as giant relays for data transmissions.
Do satellite stations emit radiation?
If the satellite is to have ANY communications, usually with Earth, it must use radio waves, or some other radiation, so yes.
How do you cominucate to a satellite on mars from earth?
That is done by radio waves. The Earth end of the raio links are maintained by large dish-type radio antennas, of diameter more than 10 metres.
How do you get satellite images of the earth?
The satellite takes pictures of the earth, and sends the photos down by radio, as a digital data-stream. Maybe kind of like the same way you send pictures to your friend's cellphone, you suppose ?
Why are satellite used to relay radio waves?
Satellites are used to relay radio waves to the other side of the world because radio waves cannot travel directly through the Earth.
What is a space station that transmits radio waves called microwaves from earth-based stations is called a .?
communications satellite
What 's the difference between satellite and terrestrial?
IN COMMUNICATIONS: Satellite uses satellite (orbiting) relay-stations in Space but Terrestrial uses cable or antenna-to-antenna signals based entirely on Earth to broadcast your television, radio or cell-phone :) ++++ IN ASTRONOMY: Terrestrial means Earth- (or planet-) bound; a Satellite is any natural or man-made object that orbits a planet. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth.
Is sirius moving away from or towards earth?
Towards Earth, at 7.6 km/sec. They say that in the future, we might be in "Sirius" trouble - but the fact is that Sirius doesn't move exactly towards Earth; there is also a sideways movement, so Sirius would miss us.
