What does COMSAT stands for?
Communications Satellite
Which space shuttle had as its first mission to rescue a stranded communications satellite?
endeavour
How do airplanes communicate?
Most planes have VHF radios. Military planes have UHF radios, and some planes have satellite communications.
How does communication take place?
In cellphones, communications takes place via radio waves to a satellite, or via an underground cable network.
How do employees on offshore oil rigs send email?
Satellite communications. Installation operators will pay a large fee for a set bandwidth to be shared between the crew for email, internet access, telephone and sometimes television, but the latter can be direct from a satellite television provider.
6 What name is given to the orbit of an artificial communications satellite?
Geo
How do satellite phones work?
Satellite phones work by connecting directly to a communications satellite in orbit, which then routes the call to a standard phone network. Because the satellites are in orbit the phone can work anywhere on earth.
Which factor would most likely cause communications satellite orbiting earth to return to earth from its orbit?
That will happen if the satellite loses energy. This is usually caused by air resistance, if the satellite's orbit is too low.
What is a gps satellite's orbit type?
Geosynchronous
Why is orbit important use of the satellite?
The orbit of a satellite is determined based on the functions that the satellite needs to perform. A communications satellite.s purpose is to make communications easier. If it were in a very low orbit, the satellite would pass quickly overhead and you would only have a couple of moments to talk. A photo satellite needs to have a low orbit, to be close enough to take good pictures. Photo satellites are often in polar orbits to allow them to cover the entire globe rather than the same parts over and over again.
Why does it take 24 hours for a communications satellite to orbit Earth?
They take 24 hours to orbit earth so they will always be in the same place in the sky. This makes it easier for setting up satellite dishes for example, since they have to be pointed toward the satellite.
What is the type of satellite that relays tv singals?
communications satellite is the answer try neew dim simms
Which type of satellite has the largest footprint?
equatorial orbit
What type of satellite did the US first launch into orbit?
eplorer
Why don't we land a communications satellite on the moon or mars?
In an age of geocentric satellites, the moon's orbit would preclude its reliability. However, the moon was used as a type of 'communications sat' back in the 50s, and modern-day satellites grew from that program. See link.
Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
Does dbs also known as direct broadcast satellite such as directv and dishtv orbit in a geosynchronous orbit?
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
