The angle of the satellite period, depends on where the satellite is positioned. When you figure out where the satellite is you position the angle to be where and what you need.

What is the satellite inclination angle in satellite communication?

The satellite inclination angle in satellite communication refers to the angle between the satellite's orbital plane and the equatorial plane of the Earth. This angle is crucial for determining the satellite's coverage area and the type of services it can provide. A geostationary satellite, for example, has an inclination angle of 0 degrees, allowing it to remain fixed over a specific point on the equator, while polar satellites typically have an inclination of 90 degrees, enabling them to pass over the poles and cover the entire Earth.


When a satellite is placed into a higher orbit what happens to its period?

Its period increases


What is look angle?

the look angles are the angles to which an earth station must be pointed to communicate with the geosynchronous satellite


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 are satellite angles?

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.

What is the definition of nadir angle?

The angle between the axis of the satellite and the line joining the center of the satellite to the center of the earth. It is one of the ways of specifying the attitude of a satellite orbiting the earth.


What is a geo synchronus satellite?

A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.


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.


The period of a satellite is defined as..?

The period of a satellite is the time it takes for the satellite to complete one orbit around its parent body, such as a planet or a star. It is typically measured in hours, days, or years depending on the size and speed of the satellite's orbit. The period is determined by the satellite's orbital velocity and the mass of the parent body it is orbiting.


When a satellite is placed into a higher orbit what happens to its period?

Its period increases


A satellite views the Earth at an angle of 20°. What is the arc measure, x, that the satellite can see 40° 80° 160° 320°?

160°


Angle of inclination of a line?

In the context of satellites, the inclination angle is the angle between the equator and the polar orbit. The polar satellite has high angle of 90 Deg and the Geo SAT has angle of 0 Deg


What is the rotation period of geostationary satellite?

The rotation period of a geostationary satellite is equal to one sidereal day, which is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. This period matches the time it takes for the satellite to orbit the Earth once and remain fixed relative to a specific point on the Earth's surface.


Does 90482 Orcus have a moon?

What happens to the satellite if its life period is over?

i think it might shut down. if its a space satellite it will shut down and float away.
