Overview of Satellites

2 Types of Satellites

 Communications, Weather, Imaging, Data Relay, Spy, Navigation (GPS)

 Orbits

 Low Orbit – LEO – 700-2000Km above earth

 Mid Earth Orbit – MEO – 8000-20000Km above earth

– GEO - approx. 36000Km above earth’s equator

3 Satellite Operation

From an Operation’s Point of View the satellite is required to maintain its footprint over the designated coverage area.

Downlink Point of View 4 Satellite Frequencies

 C-band  3-8 GHz  Lower Power  Used for wider coverage, less loss  Ku-band  10-18 GHz  Higher Power  Used for smaller coverage, high loss  Ka-band  26-40 GHz  Very High Power  Small spot beam coverage, very high loss

5 Orbital Slots

 File ITU  Coordinate with other filers  7 years put into use  Perpetuity if occupied
