Below are the reasons satellite is used for communications EXCEPT

• low maintenance cost for long distance services

• can serve for other applications, such as remote sensing, meteorology, navigation, rescue

• capable to cater several channels simultaneously via a narrowband spectrum

• transmission is accessible regardless geographical locations

Which condition is TRUE for an elliptical orbit?

• 0 < e < 1

• e = 0

• e = 1

• None of the above

The reason the satellite orbit deploys the shape of an ellipse or circle is

• the most efficient geometry

• the satellite position can be easily specified

• the satellite consumes less fuel

• the satellite has better coverage on earth

Satellite moves faster at location near to sun, and slow down when far from sun.

• TRUE

• FALSE
