What is the transmission from a satellite to an earth-based station?

The transmission from a satellite to an earth-based station is typically done using radio frequency signals. The satellite sends data to the ground station through a process called downlinking. The ground station receives the signals, processes the data, and distributes it to its intended destination.


How does a satellite collect information?

A satellite collects information using sensors and instruments onboard that are designed to capture various types of data such as images, temperature, and atmospheric composition. The satellite orbits the Earth and sends the collected data back to Earth-based stations for analysis and processing.


What is the purpose of the Earth station antenna?

The main purpose of the Earth station antenna is that it receives and RF signal, which it turns into an electromagnetic wave and sends to a satellite. It then transfers the energy from the satellite to different signals and sends it to receiving equipment.


What is the difference between a space probe and a satellite?

A space probe is a spacecraft sent to explore outer space beyond Earth's orbit, usually with a specific mission in mind such as planetary exploration. A satellite refers to any object placed into orbit around a larger body, like a planet or moon, for communication, navigation, or scientific purposes. In essence, a satellite can be a type of space probe, but not all satellites are probes.


What is a machine placed in space orbit in order to transmit data?

A satellite

What is a digital device that sends and receives digital data over the cable television network?

A cable converter box sends and receives data over cable from a satellite dish. Data that is received is transposes into a single channel.


What is the difference between a space probe and the satellite?

Space probes- instrument that gathers data and sends it back to earth, and an artificial satellite is when people go up to space and gather data and then go back to earth to go over the data

How does gpss work?

It sends a signal directly to the satellite and the satellite pinpoints the location of it.


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 ?


Hot to use hughes satellite internet?

Hughes satellite internet is easy to use. The company will install it for you. Your computer handles the rest. The computer sends a request to a Hughes satellite and the satellite sends a signal back to the computer and the web page is displayed instantly.


Does AT and T 3G use cell towers or satellite?

All cellular data networks rely upon cell towers. Mobile devices are not equipped with the proper radios or devices to "talk" to satellites. Functions like GPS are still "assisted," meaning that the satellite refers data to the cell tower which in turn sends data to the mobile device.


How do you get the picture from satellites?

The satellite takes a picture and sends it by signals.


What is satellite uplink?

The uplink is the transmitter than sends the data up to the satellite. This can take the form of a dish or a highly directional antenna. You typically see these directional antennas mounted on telescoping poles mounted on the top of TV station news vans.

What do SETI do?

As far as i currently know (SETI, the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (including SETI@Home grid computing project) )SETI@HOMEWhat is SETI@home?SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.Basically there's that GIANT satellite ( Can't remember correctly how much there's satellites, and if there really is a giant satellite, i just seen a picture of a giant satellite in the boinc ), that listens to the space radio signals, and something else if i remember correctly, then it sends the data to user, for his computer to process the data (Just in case the satellite have found something in the data you got, that is included in the data that your computer got) then it sends the data back to seti@home, so they can have the data. (That's how it goes if i remember correctly)
