Returning Period-The satellite revisit period is the time elapsed between observations of the

same point on Earth by a satellite.[1][2] It depends on the satellite's orbit, target location,
and swath of the sensor.

Orbital Spacing-Orbital spacing is 9° for the high-power satellites, so adjacent satellite interference is
considered nonexistent. It should be noted that although the DBS services are spaced by 9°, clusters
of satellites occupy the nominal orbital positions. For example, the following satellites are located at
119°W longitude.

Satellite Eclipses-Satellite eclipses occur when the Earth blocks

sunlight from reaching the satellite. Satellites orbiting the Earth
routinely pass through a shadow region on the opposite side of the
planet to the Sun, causing this loss of contact.
Altitude-Altitude is how high something is compared to the ground,
or sea level, and it's important because of how it can affect people.
Imagine the air around you and above you. The atmosphere (the air
around the earth) pushes down on the earth.
Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (OQPSK) is a variant of the QPSK modulation
scheme where the phase or timing of either the in-phase or Quadrature component is shifted
relative to each other by a one bit-period or half a symbol-period Ts as compared to QPSK.
As a result, this limits the phase of the total OQPSK signal to no more than 90˚ at a time. In
a traditional QPSK scheme, taking four different phase values to generate the signal can
allow the phase of the QPSK signal to shift by as much as 180˚ at a time.
