Telecommunications satellites
Telecommunications satellites are orbiting devices that facilitate communication by transmitting signals across long distances. They receive signals from ground stations, amplify and process them, then relay them to other locations on Earth. Positioned high above the planet, typically in geostationary orbit, they enable services such as television broadcasting, internet, phone calls, and data transfer. These satellites help connect remote or underserved areas, ensuring reliable, high-speed communication networks worldwide. Their operation is vital for global connectivity, supporting everyday communications and various technological applications.
