Microwave Module 5 Subtopic 1

Are satellites used for observation of distant planets, galaxies, and other outer space objects.

• Astronomical Satellites

• Communication Satellites

• Weather Satellites

• Navigation Satellites

are satellites which use radio time signals transmitted to enable mobile receivers on the ground to determine their exact location accurately on the order of a few meters in real time.

• Astronomical Satellites

• Communication Satellites

• Weather Satellites

• Navigation Satellites

are artificial satellites stationed in space for the purposes of telecommunications using radio at microwave frequencies. Most ___ satellites use geosynchronous orbits or near-geostationary orbits, although some recent systems use low Earth-orbiting satellites.

• Astronomical Satellites

• Communication Satellites

• Weather Satellites

• Navigation Satellites

are satellites that primarily are used to monitor the weather and/or climate of the Earth.

• Astronomical Satellites

• Communication Satellites

• Weather Satellites

• Navigation Satellites

are Earth observation satellite or communications satellite deployed for military or intelligence applications.

• Reconnaissance Satellites

• Communication Satellites

• Weather Satellites

• Navigation Satellites

are satellites specifically designed to observe Earth from orbit, similar to reconnaissance satellites but intended for non-military uses such as environmental monitoring, meteorology, map making, etc.

• Reconnaissance Satellites

• Communication Satellites

• Earth Observation Satellites

• Navigation Satellites

are proposed satellites built in high Earth orbit that use microwave power transmission to beam solar power to very large antenna on Earth where it can be used in place conventional power sources

• Reconnaissance Satellites

• Solar Power Satellites

• Earth Observation Satellites

• Navigation Satellites

Are satellites designed to carry living organisms generally for scientific experimentation.

• Reconnaissance Satellites

• Solar Power Satellites

• Earth Observation Satellites

• Biosatellites

are satellites of unusually low weights and small sizes.

• Miniaturized Satellites

• Solar Power Satellites

• Earth Observation Satellites

• Biosatellites

For Miniaturized Satellites:

what are the new classifications to categorize these satellites

• Microsatellite

• Nanosatellite

• Millisatellite

• Femtosatellite
