Communications Satellites

Communications satellites are spacecraft positioned in orbit around the Earth that facilitate the transmission of signals for television, radio, internet, and phone services. They receive signals from a ground station, amplify them, and then transmit them back to a different location on Earth, enabling long-distance communication. These satellites are crucial for connecting remote areas, supporting global broadcasts, and providing services like GPS. By maintaining a constant position relative to the Earth's surface, they ensure reliable and continuous communication services across vast distances.
