Satellite Data Transmission System

Satellite communication has two main components.

Satellite data transmission system.

The data transmission system is a cockpit on board tracking and data transmission device that transmits real time gps location altitude bearing time and velocity information over the web through a secure internet connection using ie or firefox or more. The present invention concerns a satellite onboard data transmission system. Satellite communication satellite communication how satellites work. The iridium system has 66 satellites.

A satellite is basically a self contained communications system with the ability to receive signals from earth and to retransmit those signals back with the use of a transponder an integrated receiver and transmitter of radio signals. A group of satellites working in concert is known as a satellite constellation two such constellations intended to provide satellite phone services primarily to remote areas are the iridium and globalstar systems. A typical satellite link involves the transmission or uplinking of a signal from an earth station to a satellite. More specifically it concerns a system for sending and receiving digital telecontrol tc and telemetry tm signals inside a satellite.

Direct broadcast satellites used for transmission of satellite television signals are generally in geostationary orbit 37 000 km 23 000 mi above the earth s equator. A satellite has to withstand the shock of being accelerated during launch up to the. It is also possible to offer discontinuous coverage using a low earth orbit satellite capable of storing data received while passing over one. The ground segment which consists of fixed or mobile transmission reception and ancillary equipment and the space segment which primarily is the satellite itself.

Description of the prior art. The reason for using this orbit is that the satellite circles the earth.
