Whether in low-Earth orbit (LEO), medium-Earth orbit (MEO), or geostationary orbit (GEO), #satellites experience specific conditions directly related to their orbital path, such as high Doppler shift, frequency handovers, long signal delay, and high path loss. The Maury Microwave ACE9600 Advanced Channel Emulator of the dBm Channel Emulation product line enables engineers to thoroughly test and optimize the performance of satellite communications systems designed for LEO, MEO, or GEO by reproducing each satellite orbit’s unique aspects.

Satellite operators that manage networks above LEO must carefully manage the climb through the debris-heavy region. This can mean processing tens of thousands of conjunction alerts every day. Many satellite operators attended the ITU conference, where one emerging theme was the call for harmonized regulation worldwide. Concerns about growing debris are many, including the human casualty risk of satellite pieces falling back to Earth. And some solutions, like active debris removal, is difficult above 600 km, where atmospheric drag is significantly lower.

5G low orbit satellites are my biggest health concern. Biological harm from EMFs has been proven in studies to be caused by absorbed radiation (from the EMFs), not the waves passing through us. This is why I'm so concerned with our biggest threat being the low orbit 5G satellites, which are increasing exponentially. The signal originating in space is so strong it could kill us (Google what happens if birds fly over a ships radar). By the time a slight fraction of that signal reaches earth, the vast majority of it has been absorbed by earth and every being on it. Studies are showing disruption in birds migratory patterns and in bees tied to 5G. No long term safety data has been studied. Please watch this deeply concerning video of where we are and where things are going. Like, comment, share, and most importantly set up a free EMF evaluation. https://lnkd.in/eW8f8ztP

I'm very happy to share a new paper on post-mission disposal for low earth orbit missions written with my co-author Vyara Yazadzhiyan: https://lnkd.in/e_u8xR9N The fundamental idea highlighted in the paper - the double effect associated with a shortening of the de-orbiting rule for satellites from 25 years to 5 years - is not universally liked. Just the simple act of calling for additional time to research it led some within the research community to approach me with quite a "robust" defence of the FCC's new 5-year rule. To address these concerns, we developed an unusual simulation approach, one that may even be dismissed as "unrealistic" by the naysayers, I suppose. However, taking this approach helped us to see, quantify and ultimately defend the double effect. The conclusion is that whilst a 5-year rule for de-orbiting satellites might offer substantial benefits, there are some potential harms too. Those harms might also be significant if large constellations of satellites continue to be deployed into low LEO altitudes. Pushing for the benefits should also mean an acceptance of the harms rather than an ignorance of them.

Our Ku and Ka band waveguides support global communications from the Eutelsat OneWeb satellite constellation by channeling electromagnetic waves between satellites in Low Earth Orbit. OneWeb's mission helps deliver broadband internet to remote and off-grid areas.  #Frontgrade #OneWeb #SatelliteTechnology #GlobalConnectivity #BroadbandForAll #AerospaceInnovation #Waveguides

Optical imager resolution scales with its physical size. Here's a breakdown of the details you can expect to resolve with smallsats of different sizes. Earth observation missions are some of the most demanding from a spacecraft perspective, so how can you properly evaluate your satellite supplier? Well, our upcoming webinar on October 2 will have expert panelists from Earth Observation (and satellite communications) to share their practical advice on: 🛰️ Evaluating your risks and risk tolerance 🛰️ Weighing technical and cost trade-offs during the proposal stage 🛰️ Distinguishing what truly matters in supplier reliability and credibility 🛰️ And much more! Join the hundreds of participants and register for our webinar in the comments below if you are looking to launch your own mission. #NewSpace #nanosatellites #smallsats

The marine seismic industry is undergoing a significant transformation, thanks to the advent of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology. These advanced satellites are enhancing data transmission capabilities, reducing latency, and enabling real-time data flow from onboard sensors to end users across the globe. 🛰️🚢 As we embrace this technological transformation, it's clear that LEO satellite technology is not just keeping sailors connected; it's steering the maritime industry toward a more connected, efficient, and sustainable future. The horizon looks promising as we set sail into this new age of maritime communication. 📡🌊 👉 Read more about how we are revolutionizing marine seismic data transfer https://ow.ly/H1uR50R9hx1 #MaritimeTechnology #SatelliteCommunication #DataTransmission #SustainableShipping #MaritimeInnovation #PGS #MarineSeismic #LEOSatellites

Low Earth Orbit satellite networks offer connectivity that's, well, out of this world. Yet, like any terrestrial network, they're not immune to packet loss, latency, and the like. VeloCloud SD-WAN's DMPO feature is designed to iron out these wrinkles, even in space – by seamlessly integrating satellite with fixed-line, cellular, and other types of connections. LEO can be a shining star in your broader connectivity constellation. https://bit.ly/3xLa1uG

#newarticle | Day 2 of the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit 2024 began with interesting sessions on the present and future of PNT from LEO. The interest in complementary Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) from Low Earth Orbit (#LEO) has significantly increased in recent years following the emergence of international initiatives from the private and public sectors, relying on new industrial models and early availability of in-orbit results. The list of possible technical advantages is large, ranging from increased resilience to faster high-accuracy convergence, to simple low-energy solutions, to integration with communication systems (such as provision of 5G/6G NTN localization compatible with communication protocols), to signal monitoring on-board, among several others.
