Satellite Communications

Design of a Telecommunication Satellite

Extensions

Examine the history of communications at a distance and the time needed to transfer the information. For example, start with delivering messages by foot or passenger pigeon through to modern telecommunications. Examine the level of technology needed to carry out each method and describe the positive, negative and interesting (neither good nor bad) aspects of each method. Is there still a need, in today's society, for the earlier methods of communications?

Assessment

1. Design a diagram for the satellite with parts labelled.
   
   
2. Model – are all the parts included and are they labelled?
   
   
3. Oral presentation of the satellite model.
