Performance of the Marisat communications system
Abstract
The Marisat space segment employs three operational satellites located at 15-deg W, 176.5-deg E, and 73-deg longitude. Two shore stations provide commercial communications services, satellite tracking, telemetry, and control functions. Six ship terminal models have thus far been accepted for use with the Marisat system. Marisat ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship repeater characteristics are given for a variety of satellite parameters.
