Communication Satellite

A communication satellite is an artificial satellite specifically designed to facilitate telecommunications by relaying signals for various forms of communication, including television, radio, internet, and phone services. Positioned in geostationary or low Earth orbits, these satellites receive signals from ground stations, amplify them, and retransmit them back to various locations on Earth. Communication satellites play a crucial role in enabling long-distance communication by bridging gaps where terrestrial infrastructure may be inadequate or nonexistent, thus providing global coverage for broadcasting and data services. They are a vital component of modern communication networks, supporting both commercial applications and governmental operations.
