Communication or geostationary satellites orbit the Earth around the equator at a height of approx 23000 miles. To fit a satellite dish to your home you need to know the latitude on the globe of your town. The dish angle approaches the horizontal the further north you live. Note: It's the same for setting the angle of the gnomon on a sundial.

How do you determine the angle of elevation for a satellite dish?

If you access the menu on the DISH Network satellite receiver and access the point DISH screen, it will then allow you to enter your zip code & select the satellite you are currently pointed at. After entering your zip code & selecting the satellite it will calculate the azimuth and elevation angles for you.

What is a satellite axis?

A satellite axis refers to an imaginary line around which a satellite rotates or orbits. In the context of Earth observation satellites, it can also denote the orientation or alignment of the satellite's instruments relative to Earth. The axis is crucial for determining the satellite's operational parameters, such as its coverage area and the angles at which it collects data. Proper alignment of the satellite axis ensures optimal performance in tasks like imaging and communication.

How do you find out where to point a satellite dish?

Commercial satellites are in geosynchronous orbit around the equator. They are each at a particular longitude. The direction you need to point your dish then depends on where you are. In northern Canada, dishes point at a very shallow angle to the south. In California, they are pointing around 45 degrees up and some amount east or west. Find out the longitude of the satellite you want and then look up on the satellite company's website (or do an Internet search) for the angles to aim (one angle is skyward, the other north/south/east/west).


What is coverage angle in satellite communication?

The coordinates to which the earth station antennas must be pointed to communicate with the satellite is called Look angles.There r 2 types of look angles:1. Azimuth angle: Measured eastward from geographic north to the projection of satellite path on the local horizontal plane at the earth station.2.Elevation Angle: Measured upward from local horizontal plane at the earth station to the satellite path.

Is all satellite considered live satellite?

A "live satellite" is something that is being shown "live" from a satellite, such as images from space, or views of the Earth from a satellite in outer space. TV programs you watch on satellite is not considered "live satellite".
