A communication satellite can be looked upon as abig microwave repeater.
It contains several transponder which listens to someportion of the spectrum, amplifies the incomingsignal, and broadcasts it in another frequency toavoid interference with incoming signals.Can relay signals over long distances.

Geostationary and Geosynchronous orbits
A geostationary orbit is a special orbit for which any satellitein that orbit will appear to hover stationary over a point onthe earth's surface.
For any orbit to be geostationary, it must first begeosynchronous.
A geosynchronous orbit is any orbit which has a period
equal to the earth's rotational period. This requirement is notsufficient to ensure a fixed position relative to the earth.
While all geostationary orbits must be geosynchronous, notall geosynchronous orbits are geostationary.

Figure below shows the difference between a geostationary orbit (GSO) and ageosynchronous orbit (GEO) with an inclination of 20 degrees.Both are circular orbits.While each satellite will complete its orbit in the same time it takes the earth to rotate
once, the geosynchronous satellite will move north and south of the equator during itsorbit while the geostationary satellite will not.

GEO SAT -DisadvantagesDue to the high orbit, the spatial resolution of the data isnot as great as for the polar orbiting satellites . Since they
are always positioned above the equator they can't see thenorth or south poles and are of limited use for latitudesgreater than 60-70 degrees north or south.Large propgn delay effects voice and time sensitive data
protocols.Larger path loss, higher latencyHigh transmitter power

A solar day is the length of time between twosuccessive passes of the sun across the same spot
in the sky (e.g. crossing the meridian, overhead).Because the Earth moves in its orbit around theSun, the Earth must rotate more than 360 degreesin one solar day .That time period is, on average, 24:00:00, hours,or one mean solar day.

A sidereal day is the length of time betweentwo successive passes of the fixed stars
across the sky.S idereal time is time kept with respect to thedistant stars.A sidereal day lasts from when a distant star
is on the meridian at a point on Earth until it isnext on the meridian.A sidereal day lasts 23 hours and 56 minutes(of solar time), about 4 minutes less than a
solar day.

A sidereal day is the time between consecutivecrossings of any particular longitude on the earthby any star other than the sun.A solar day is the time between consecutivecrossings of any particular longitude of the earthby the sun-earth axis.

ComparisionB ecause the stars are so distant from us, themotion of the Earth in its orbit makes
negligible difference in the direction to thestars. Hence, the Earth rotates 360 degreesin one sidereal day.
T he Earth must rotate an extra 0.986 degreesbetween solar crossings of the meridian.T herefore in 24 hours of solar time, the Earthrotates 360.986 degree.

Orbital elements are the parameters required to uniquelyidentify a specific orbit.
Exactly six parameters are necessary to unambiguously definean arbitrary and unperturbed orbit.
A scending node is the point where the satellite crosses theequatorial plane moving in the direction from south to north.
Descending node is the point where the satellite crosses theequatorial plane moving in the direction from north to south.
T he line joining these 2 nodes - Line of nodes.

Nodal Regression (nodal precession)N odal regression refers to the shift of the plane of an orbitunder the gravitational force of Earth's (or any planet's)equatorial bulge.
For low orbit satellites, it can be as much as 6 to 8 degrees per day westward (for example, at inclinations of 52degrees and 28 degrees respectively).
The regression rate depends on altitude (the higher, thelower the rate) and inclination (the higher, the lower therate).

Main effects of perturbation on a satellite
contd3.The component of perturbating force along the orbital plane
imparts a force vector on a satellite.
Mainly effects the geostationary satellites.The gravitational force on the satellite is directed towards the nearestequatorial bulge instead of earths centre-producing a component of forceon the orbital plane.Since geosynchronous orbit is constant w.r.t earth, the perturbations addsup to cause a drift of satellite to one of the stable points.Stable points on minor axis.Max amplitude of drift acceleration=~+0.0018/ day 2.Drifts cancelled by firing regular thrusters.

S un T ransit Outage
A sun outage , sun transit or sun fade is an interruption in or distortionof geostationary satellite signals caused by interference from solar radiation.
The effect is due to the sun's radiation overwhelming the satellite signal.Generally, sun outages occur in February, March, September and October
At these times, the apparent path of the sun across the sky takes itdirectly behind the line of sight between an earth station and a satellite.
As the sun radiates strongly at the microwave frequencies used tocommunicate with satellites (C-band, Ka band and Ku band) the sunswamps the signal from the satellite.
The effects of a sun outage can include partial degradation, that is, anincrease in the error rate, or total destruction of the signal.
