Satellites and Telecommunications
A worldwide system of satellites has been created and it is possible to transmit signals
around the globe by bouncing them from one satellite to an earth station and then to another
satellite and soon.
Originally designed to carry voice messages, they are able to carry hundreds of thousands
of separate simultaneous calls. These systems are being adopted to provide for business
communications, including the transmission of voice and facsimile messages, data and video
data. One cannot doubt that the economic and social impact of these concepts will be very
significant. Already, advanced systems of communication are affecting both the layman and the
technician.
The first one is voice messages. Satellite telephones are able to make calls from anywhere on
the? Earth to anywhere else. That makes them especially useful to use in remote, third-world
villages (some of which already use stationary satellite telephones), for explorers. Today's
mobile phones depend on earth-bound transmitters, whose technical standards vary from country
to country. Satellite telephones can solve this problem, but it is not a cheap service.
The second service is messaging. Satellite messages have the same global coverage as satellite
telephones, but carry text alone, which is extremely useful for those with laptop computers. As
we see, the Internet works in space too. The only problem for ordinary users is one-way
transmissions. This problem is solved by using combine transmissions, when you make a call
using land communications and receive ordered information through your satellite plate.
The third service is tracking. Voice and messaging systems also tell their users where they are to
within a few hundred meters. Combined with the messaging service, the location service could
help rescue teams, to find lost adventurers, the police to find stolen cars, exporters to follow the
progress of cargoes and so on. Satellite systems provide better positioning information to anyone
who has a receiver for their signals.
a) Solar arrays are primarily used for deep space probe satellites, as the most abundant
thing that an artificial satellite can catch is sunlight.
d) New technology and different kinds of demand have changed the way communications
satellites are used.
