CAT 1 Satellite Comm

This document discusses key concepts in satellite communications. It defines orbital period and relay satellite, explains Kepler's laws of planetary motion and how they relate to satellites orbiting Earth. It uses diagrams to explain the difference between a satellite's apogee and perigee in terms of motion, energy and speed. It also states and explains three subsystems of commercial satellites and the difference between geo-stationary and geo-synchronous orbits.
