Geosynchronous satellites were proposed by Arthur C Clarke, the Science Fiction author, in 1945 and his speculative article was published in Wireless World Magazine in the UK. The satellite has an orbit time of 24 Hours so that it appears to remain fixed in space.The geostationary orbit is approximately 23,000 miles above the Earth and is a very crowded area since many countries have their satellites there. The satellite are entirely powered by solar panels generating 5 to 6 Kilo Watts of power. This electricity is used to receive microwave signals beamed to them by Earth Stations and then relayed back to Earth by the on board microwave transmitters.The reception footprint of the satellite can cover whole countries and is a very economical way to distribute TV signals to your chosen reception area.
