Administration The Death of the Spy Satellite Facts and problems: The problems that surrounded this Spy Satellite case appeared to be a direct result of a lack of oversight in all aspects of the project. Some of the pronounced facts were: The project "Future Imagery Architecture (FIA)" was behind schedule and over budget Boeing‚ the awarded bidder was the contractor for building the new generation of spy satellites. However‚ Boeing had never built these types of spy satellites previously‚ yet

“computers” or “ice cream.” While these may be important‚ they are definitely not the most important. By far‚ satellites are the most important objects today. Most everything‚ including smartphones and computers‚ are present today because of satellites and have capabilities such as Wi-Fi and 4G because of the role satellites play. Even Socrates‚ who lived centuries before the first satellite‚ realized the importance of a view from space when he said‚ "Man must rise above the Earth…to the top of the

Satellite A satellite is defined as any object that orbits any other object. Satellites can be celestial‚ such as a moon orbiting a planet in the solar system‚ or a planet in the solar system orbiting the sun. Satellites can also be man-made. Man-made satellites are typically launched into outer space from earth to collect data‚ photos and other information about Earth and all the many things that exist around it. FLOW OF CONTENTS

Communication Satellites Introduction Communications Satellites have been around since 1958. A communications satellite is a spacecraft that orbits the Earth and relays messages‚ radio‚ telephone and television signals. Stations on the ground‚ called earth stations‚ transmit signals to the satellite‚ which then relays the signal to other earth stations. As a newer form of communications‚ communications satellites are very useful in bringing the people in the world together. Communications between

1: The Alouette-ISIS Satellite Program The Alouette satellite program was initiated in 1958 by Dr. John H. Chapman to understand the characteristics of radio communication in Canada. Researchers focused on the exploration of the ionosphere (the earth’s upper atmosphere)‚ namely the northern lights. This was not a predominant area of study for the space science effort of other countries and so allowed the Aloutte-ISIS program to make a major and unique contribution. The program commenced with the

Satellite imagery The first images from space were taken on the sub-orbital V-2 rocket flight launched by the U.S. on October 24‚ 1946. Satellite imagery consists of images of Earth or other planets collected by artificial satellites. History[edit] The satellite images were made from pixels. The first crude image taken by the satellite Explorer 6 shows a sunlit area of the Central Pacific Ocean and its cloud cover. The photo was taken when the satellite was about 17‚000 mi (27‚000

SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS - AN OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The outer space has always fascinated people on the earth and communication through space evolved as an offshoot of ideas for space travel. The earliest idea of using artificial satellites for communications is found in a science fiction Brick Moon by Edward Evert Hale‚ published in 1869-70. While the early fictional accounts of satellite and space communications bear little resemblance to the technology as it exists

INTRODUCTION For three decades‚ satellite communications have been used for public switched telephone network (PSTN) and video broadcasting applications. However‚ with daily technology advancements made in society and the requirement for global data connectivity‚ satellites are increasingly being used to provide data communication links at all data rates ranging from 64 Kbps to 155 Mbps (Buchsbaum). Wireless technology allows data to be sent out into space to a satellite and back to earth to provide
