The view was expressed that small satellites offered opportunities to develop competitive applications in Earth observation and that such small satellite missions should be developed taking into account data from existing Earth observation satellites.

Fixed beam satellites were generally simpler in design than hopping beam satellites.

Such Ka band satellite systems had also been described in other terms, such as multimedia satellites , Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) satellites , broadband switched satellites , and broadband interactive satellites .

WRC 99 will continue studying technical and regulatory aspects of communication using geostationary and non geostationary satellites for various services, such as mobile satellites, Earth exploration satellites, space research satellites, meteorological satellites and broadcasting satellites.

In the view of that delegation, by adopting new methods of space and frequency separation, the distance between satellites in orbit could be drastically reduced and, as a result, several satellites could be placed at the same orbital position without them interfering with one another.

The first two satellites were in orbit and the full constellation of 28 satellites would be in service in 1998.

ISL could be used for direct quot repeaterless quot communication between intercluster satellites co located satellites interregional satellites (GEO to GEO) and LEO and GEO satellites.

Participants recognized that space based technologies such as Earth observation satellites, communication satellites, meteorological satellites and GNSS played an important role in risk reduction and disaster management.

Mini satellites.

1. Satellites

The Republic of Korea reports that at present it has two KITSAT satellites and two KOREASAT satellites in orbit.

The applications of space communication satellites, remote sensing satellites and meteorological satellites still constitute the main parts of Indonesia s space programme.

Norwegian companies are involved in developing and building the International Space Station, the Ariane 5 launchers, space telescopes, spacecraft for exploring other planets, Earth observation satellites, communication satellites and navigation satellites.

Recent technological progress in many areas means that small satellites can offer services previously only available from much larger satellites.

In the coming years, China will try to develop small satellites, with an emphasis on small scale Earth observation satellites.

These commercial satellites are summarized in table 1.

In the case of two launches of satellites in the Cosmos series, three satellites were placed in orbit each time by a single carrier rocket

The geostationary component, consisting of satellites provided by China, India, Japan, Russian Federation, United States of America and the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), provides a continuous view of weather systems from 70 degrees north to 70 degrees south with considerable overlap in most cases.

Whenever possible, China is using recoverable satellites for carrying out scientific experiments in outer space, thereby reducing the number of jettisoned satellites in orbit.

will also launch five satellites in the near future.

At present, the system has 14 satellites in operation.

The view was expressed that research on earthquake prediction using data and information from satellites must take into consideration historical, archaeological and palaeoseismological data on earthquakes.

A. Commercial telecommunications satellites

micro satellites (theme 1)

One way methods using the signals distributed by the Global Positioning System (GPS) in common view mode and two way techniques employing pseudo noise(PN) signals distributed via communication satellites were investigated.

. Mobile satellite communications were still in their initial stages of development, with a few satellites in geostationary orbits and, in the near future, with satellites in low Earth orbits.

In the immediate future, the satellites of the Gorizont space communication and broadcasting satellite system will be gradually replaced by new generation satellites.

There's an outer space layer with black holes and satellites and research satellites and asteroid mining.

(i) Project in the ASTRO series (satellites for astronomical observations)

It utilizes LEO store and forward satellites in polar orbit.

1. Projects in the ASTRO series (satellites for astronomical observations)

Scientific research in microgravity with recoverable satellites is also continuing.

Communication satellites, particularly in combination with data from Earth observation satellites, will increasingly be used in establishing systems for preventing or mitigating the effects of natural disasters.
