Define with figure: Apogee Perigee Ascending Node Descending node Inclination Prograde Orbit Retrograde orbit Argument of perigee Mean anomaly True anomaly Right ascension of ascending node Explain Effect of earths oblateness? Explain Effects of the sun and the moon on the satellite? Explain in detail types of orbit? Explain equinoxes and solar eclipse? Write a short note on sun transit outage? Why satellites on west is more desirable than east? Explain Doppler shift? Write a short note on geo stationary satellite and calculate its height? Describe antenna look angels in detail? Explain limits of visibility Describe thermal control? Explain in detail the power supply sub system? Explain with block diagram TT&C subsystem? What is fundamental unit of universal coordinated time? Express the following times in (a)days and (b) degrees: i) 0 h, 5 min, 24 s; ii) 6 h. 35 min, 20 s. What is meant by apogee height and perigee height? Calculate apogee and perigee heights for a satellite orbit having following parameters: a) radius of the orbit =7192.335 km. b) eccentricity =0.0011501 c) mean earth radius=6371 km. An earth station is located at latitude 12S and longitude 52W. Calculate the antenna-look angles for a satellite at 70W. The orbit for an earth-orbiting satellite has an eccentricity of 0.15 and a semi major axis of 9000 km. Determine (a) its periodic time; (b) the apogee height; (c) the perigee height. Assume a mean value of 6371 km for the earths radius.
