The activities of a radio monitoring station put in service by the Deutsche Bundespost are overviewed. These include determining the spectrum occupancy by space-station emissions, investigating and eliminating harmful interferences, and identifying unauthorized users of satellite transponders, as well as ...
Optical communication is an integral part of deep-space communication systems that allows for orders-of-magnitude higher data transfer rate compared to techniques utilizing radio frequencies [525]. Unlike a link between a ground station and a terminal at near-Earth orbit (LEO, MEO, and GEO), de...
With the exception of the international space station (ISS), currently all spacecraft are transported to orbit as an integral unit through one launch. In the traditional launch mode, the spacecraft design must meet the following conditions: the mass constraints of the selected launch vehicle, the...
College Students Chat with Space Station Using Their RadioPatrick Hindle
These Backyard Geniuses, part of Popular Mechanics's yearly tribute to the world's greatest unsung engineers, built a radio that tracked and reached the International Space Station. Brilliant!
