study about geostationary satellite

2. Geospatial technologY
Geospatial technologies is a term used to
describe the range of modern tools
contributing to the geographic mapping
and analysis of the Earth and human
societies. These technologies have been
evolving in some form since the first maps
were drawn in prehistoric times.

5. ORBIT ALLOCATION
Satellites in geostationary orbit must all occupy a single
ring above the Equator. The requirement to space these
satellites apart to avoid harmful radio-frequency
interference during operations means that there are a
limited number of orbital "slots" available, thus only a
limited number of satellites can be operated in
geostationary orbit. This has led to conflict between
different countries wishing access to the same orbital
slots (countries near the same longitude but
differing latitudes) and radio frequencies. These
disputes are addressed through the International
Telecommunication Union's allocation
mechanism.[10][11] In the 1976 Bogotá Declaration, eight
countries located on the Earth's equator claimed
sovereignty over the geostationary orbits above their
territory, but the claims gained no international
recognition

6. DESIGN OF GEOSTSTIONARY SATELLITE
Mostof these birdsare communicationssatellitesof one descriptionor
another.A common earlydesign is that of a spin stabilizedcylinder.The
HughesHS376 seriesare typical: the main bodybeing some 3 meterslong
and 2 metersin diameter.This grows to around6 metersin length once
on orbitwiththe extension of the communicationsantennae and an extra
skirtof solar panels.These supplement the cellswhichalreadycover the
mainbody,making a verynice specular reflector.Thisskirtand the main
bodyrotateaboutthe long axis,typicallyat around55 r.p.m.,whilst the
antennaand equipment shelf are despun so as to maintain contact with
their groundtarget

7. VARIOUS TYPES OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY
Remote Sensing:imagery and data collected from space- or airborne camera and sensor platforms. Some commercial satellite image providers
now offer images showing details of one-meter or smaller, making these images appropriate for monitoring humanitarian needs and human
rights abuses.
GeographicInformationSystems(GIS):a suite of software tools for mapping and analyzing data which is geo referenced (assigned a specific
location on the surface of the Earth, otherwise known as geospatial data). GIS can be used to detect geographic patterns in other data, such as
disease clusters resulting from toxins, sub-optimal water access, etc.
GlobalPositioningSystem(GPS):a network of U.S. Department of Defense satellites which can give precise coordinate locations to civilian and
military users with proper receiving equipment (note: a similar European system called Galileo will be operational within the next several years
while a Russian system is functioning but restricted).
InternetMappingTechnologies:software programs like Google Earth and web features like Microsoft Virtual Earth are changing the way
geospatial data is viewed and shared. The developments in user interface are also making such technologies available to a wider audience
whereas traditional GIS has been reserved for specialists and those who invest time in learning complex software programs
