Geosynchronous orbit

improved technology involving space. Satellites were one of the aspects that were affected by this. Sputnik grew into Sputnik 2, and Sputnik 3. Sputnik 2 was the second satellite ever launched into Earth’s orbit. The satellite was launched less than a month later on November 3rd. It also carried the first living mammal into space. It was a dog named ‘Laika’ (Anderson, 1980). Sputnik 3 was launched in the spring of the next year. Sputnik 3 was much bigger than the first two soviet satellites. It was equipped a large array of geophysical instruments for research. The mission lasted 692 days, the longest of all the Sputnik missions by far. It was not only the longest mission but it was also the most successful. Soviets found out that satellites can be maintained and were able to consistently send data back to Earth (Anderson, 1980). This revelation started a satellite frenzy. The first satellite dedicated to active communications was launched in 1962. It was called Telstar 1. This satellite was created by the eventual founders of AT&T and Bell Laboratories (Wendling, 2013). Telstar 1 perplexed the general population. It did this through live imagery of sports, entertainment, and news. Described as an LEO satellite which according to Telesat is a single-transponder low-earth-orbit satellite. This meant it amplified and retransmitted radio signals over the majority of the earth’s surface after receiving these radio signals from a tower. Telstar 1 set the standards for the future…

Details of the Applicant I am an understudy of the university of surrey, at present contemplating for a graduate degree in Electronics Engineering (Euro Masters) with great learning of both terrestrial communication systems and satellite communication systems. I have taken some major courses to empower me have the significant essential information to have the capacity to take a shot at this proposed research thesis. Find attached my CV for more information. 1. Introduction 1.1 What…

the first in 1962. Currently, there are more than 1,100 publically and privately owned active communication satellites in orbit with more than 2,600 inactive ones causing a significant amount of space debris. Importantly, communication satellites provide our security and our entertainment. At a high altitude of nearly 36,000km from Earth, the geosynchronous orbit (GEO) is an ideal location for communication satellites that have a requirement to be over the same position of Earth. This “sweet…

technology comes risk. What have we accomplished with this technology and what have we yet to discover. From the beginning of the invention of satellites, technology has been evolving and enabled change that has given the world advance uses of communication. To look at changes satellites have brought towards the field of communication we need to look into the history of them. The first communication satellite to be used was released by America called ECHO 1 in 1960. This satellite reflected…

earth. The discussion below will support the design for a nuclear powered “spy” photographic satellite in low earth orbit, possessing a10-meter telescopic mirror, and using microwaves to transmit photographic data to earth. Location: There are four orbits…

the space environment becomes more and more important, because no one knows what kind of changes will appear or if it will impact out planet. Introduction Space junk is an assortment of waste and debris that includes derelict satellites, pieces of busted up rockets and other defunct objects floating around Earth’s orbit. Orbital debris can be made intentionally like destroying a weather satellite using a ballistic missile (United Nations 3). On the other…

brightness. A transit is when a planet appears to move across the face of a star, dimming the brightness. A planet has to complete 3 or more transit periods, which is when the planet essentially makes a full orbit around the star three times, before astronomers will assume that an exoplanet is responsible. If those three periods are not made, it can be assumed that it was an asteroid, comet, etc. that was just flying through the sky. Granted, that while that asteroid would have to be fairly…

1. What are Kepler’s 3 Laws. Explain each law in detail and why it is important in astronomy. (3 pts) Kepler’s Three Laws that everything orbits the sun. The first law is that everything orbits the sun, all the planets orbit in the ecliptic of the sun which clear up a lot of the problems with the tycho model in retrograde motion. Ellipses. The second law is equal areas in equal times. Equal Areas. And the third law is the mathematical relationship equating distance from the sun, average…

comparison between the motion characteristics of different planets. The comparison being made is that the ratio of the squares of the periods to the cubes of their average distances from the sun is the same for every one of the planets. As an illustration, consider the orbital period and average distance from sun (orbital radius) for Earth and mars. The T2/R3 ratio is the same for Earth as it is for mars. In fact, if the same T2/R3 ratio is computed for the other planets, it can be found that…

without the aid of a telescope, developed three laws which described the motion of the planets across the sky. Kepler's 1st Law: The Law of Orbits, Kepler's 2nd Law: The Law of Areas, and Kepler’s 3rd Law: The Law of Periods. Kepler's laws were derived for orbits around the sun, but they apply to satellite orbits as well. In retrospect, the reason that the orbit of Mars was particularly difficult was that Copernicus had correctly placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System, but had erred…
