TIL5 Satellite Orbits: Walker slaps (#starlink), but the Flower constellation 🌸 is a snack: avg performance > Walker, can be combined & optimized for latency/reliability/coverage https://lnkd.in/eh59GxzG

And here U go 👏 👏 👏 #NOAA GOES-U 🛰️🚀 Satellite launch is a success 🙌. Congrats NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, SpaceX, for a beautiful launch of this 🆕🔝 #Science & #Technology Marvel joining soon the Global Geo-ring of Geostationary #Satellites. #NOAA’s GOES-U is the fourth and final satellite in the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) – R Series, the Western Hemisphere’s most sophisticated #weather-observing and #environmental monitoring system. The GOES-R Series provides advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements, real-time mapping of lightning activity, and space weather observations. Billions of lives depend on accurate #weather forecasting especially for the #extremes associated with our changing #climate. This is everyone‘s success and surely a news we receive with joy and excitement at the World Meteorological Organization! Go GOES-U 🤩 Read more about it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ervkwhnD

Tracking of Low Earth Orbit 🛰️ (LEO) using #oneweb and #Intellian OW50M maritime antennas on #eikteleport #marlink

Solar activity has been found to lead to space weather events that can be problematic for our planet. These events can affect the earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and upper atmosphere, potentially disrupting radio communications and GPS systems. They can also induce geomagnetic storms responsible for electric currents in power lines that affect power grids and cause transformer failures. Finally, they have also been shown to influence satellite operations by causing increased atmospheric drag on low-Earth orbit satellites. https://lnkd.in/dZsR5yP8

Unleash the power of low-earth orbit satellite networks! 🛰 These game-changers are transforming WAN connectivity, opening fresh revenue streams, and bridging the broadband gap in remote regions by orbiting near Earth.

The Era of Hybrid Satellite Networks: Forging Resilient Alliances Across Orbits In the dynamic realm of satellite communications, a seismic shift is underway. As Elon Musk's Starlink asserts its dominance, the industry is embracing a new paradigm of hybrid networks. These networks seamlessly integrate services across low-Earth orbit (LEO), medium-Earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary orbit (GEO), catering to both commercial demands and security imperatives.

You might have heard the terms 'LEO' and 'GEO' in the context of satellite orbit heights, but what do they mean, and what are the implications for your satellite-connected application? Read all about it in our guide to satellite orbit heights: https://ow.ly/aJjk50PNK4V

📡 WRC-23 Leaves Door Open for NGSO Satellite Power Increase by 2027 Despite Divisions 🌐✨ WRC-23, the global spectrum rules conference, concludes with a compromise on NGSO (Non-Geostationary Orbit) satellite transmission power limits. While some suggest regulatory proposals can only be revisited in 2031, SpaceX and the Alliance for Satellite Broadband argue that technical studies may lead to updated regulations as early as 2027. This development sparks debate among GSO (Geostationary Orbit) and NGSO operators, emphasizing the complexity of balancing spectrum interests. Stay tuned for evolving discussions shaping the future of satellite communication. 🛰️🤝 #WRC23 #NGSO #GSO #SatelliteCommunication #SpaceSpectrum #SpaceRegulation #TelecomNews #SpaceX #Starlink #AllianceforSatelliteBroadband #SpacePolicy

The thunderous sound of the rocket's engines reverberating through the air got me goosebumps!    Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to witness the GSLV-F14/INSAT-3DS mission launch from SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota, with my daughter. The sight of the GSLV rocket lifting off into the sky was awe-inspiring, especially as it embarked on its mission to deploy the INSAT-3DS meteorological satellite into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). Witnessing the rocket's liftoff alongside my daughter made the experience even more memorable and special. As it marked its entry into space, the humongous sound left me in awe of the nation even more.     The primary objectives of the mission include:    - Monitoring Earth's surface and oceans.  - Profiling atmospheric parameters.  - Collecting and disseminating data.  - Offering satellite-assisted search and rescue services.    The launch served as a reminder of the incredible progress we've made in advancing technology for the betterment of our nation and beyond. #launch #space #innovation #technology #isro
