What satellite dishes beam radio waves to satellites above the Earth?

Satellite dishes that beam radio waves to satellites above the Earth are typically referred to as ground stations or satellite uplink dishes. These dishes are designed to transmit signals to satellites in geostationary or low Earth orbits, enabling communication for television broadcasting, internet services, and other data transmission. They usually have a parabolic shape to focus the radio waves into a narrow beam directed towards the satellite.

Why are satellite TV dishes in the northern hemisphere pointed south and in the Southern Hemisphere pointed North?

Satellite TV dishes in the Northern Hemisphere are typically pointed south because the satellites that provide the TV signals are positioned over the equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, the dishes are pointed north for the same reason, as the satellites are still positioned over the equator but appear to be in the northern part of the sky from that perspective.


Why do satellite dishes face south?

Most communication satellites orbit at or near the equator. In the northern hemisphere this is obviously to the south. In the southern hemisphere it is to the north, so the dishes would point north.
