Earth stations

Earth stations are powerful facilities that communicate with satellites orbiting Earth. They consist of large antennas, called dishes, which send and receive signals for purposes like TV broadcasting, internet, weather monitoring, and military operations. These stations connect ground-based networks to space-based satellites, enabling data transfer across vast distances. They play a crucial role in satellite communication by focusing radio waves toward satellites and collecting signals back from them, ensuring reliable and efficient transmission of information across the globe.
