BNF444503 W4 Starlink Satellite Internet Technology

What is the purpose of a television satellite dish?

• To send and receive internet data

• To focus electromagnetic waves for TV signals

• To generate beams of data that reach space

• To continuously angle or steer the beam of data

How fast do Starlink satellites move?

• 27,000 kilometers per hour

• 35,000 kilometers per hour

• 550 kilometers per hour

• 20 milliseconds per hour

What is the average distance between Starlink Satellite and Dishy?

• 100 km

• 27000 km

• 550km

Why does the dish switch between different satellites?

• To focus the electromagnetic waves

• To generate beams of data

• To continuously angle or steer the beam of data

• Because the satellites move out of the dishes' field of view

What is the purpose of the massive PCB in Dishy McFlatface?

• To amplify the beam of electromagnetic waves
