Using as a baseline an existing gymbal be electronically switched. mount and monopulse tracking algorithms, the COTM terminal is being developed for use simultaneously on X-band and Ka- Simultaneous X and military Ka operation can occur on band military satellites and also Ka-band commercial satellites such as Inmarsat GX. The feed has been designed to have military satellites such as WGS or Optus C1. However, the monopulse in both X-band and Ka-band (military and terminal also supports simultaneous operation on X-band and commercial) for precise tracking, eliminating the need for commercial Ka-band, if a satellite that supports these two mechanical scan tracking methods such as step track or conical bands is available, as shown in Figure 1. Polarisation switching scan. between LHCP and RHCP is handled by electronically switching the Tx and Rx for both bands. Keywords-Ka-band; X-band; simultaneous; COTM; WGS; EM Solutions I. INTRODUCTION High data-rate communications at sea depend almost exclusively upon on-the-move (OTM) satellite terminals. Yet suitable space, particularly with minimally obstructed sky- view, is precious on vessels.

Look no further than Adelaide for evidence, with more than 4500 paying punters attending last month's International As- tronautical Congress and the government capitalising on the interest by announcing its support for a national space agency. I was at the opening ceremony during the IAC when Liberal senator for South Australia Simon Birmingham made the announcement and was quite surprised by the spontaneous round of applause and cheering it drew. I mean, great to have an announcement but where have govern- ments been for the past decade in terms of support for the space indus- By Editor try? In terms of publicity seeking, it was of Elon Musk proportions . Geoff Long but he/that was another IAC story. If the government had really been serious about space it would have created a na- tional agency when everyone was calling for one months and, in some cases, years ago. And if it wanted to really impress it would have announced the actual details of said space agency at IAC in Adelaide. As it is, we have absolutely no detail.
