Satellite News

Since its invention, television has tried every trick in the book to sell you something. Considering the fact that people in the United States spend between two to four hours a day minimum watching television, advertisers pay ridiculous amounts of money on a consistent basis to try and grab your attention and motivate you to purchase a specific product or service. Besides, without commercials the majority of content on cable and satellite TV would not exist (this statement excludes such HD movie channels as HBO and Cinemax, since they charge subscription fees).

If you own a school or language institute, you’ve probably noted that using relevant, contemporary media to instruct students makes a big difference in their progress. Learning not just how to structure a language, but really use it, comes from finding real world application. If yours is like many language institutes or especially high schools, the materials you use are likely outdated and dry. Kids and/or students get bored, stop paying attention, and drift off, essentially learning nothing about the content.

An anomaly seems to exist when looking at the current national financial situation and comparing it to the average American home. It is not necessarily an issue, but it is something that many experts are having trouble explaining.

ESA’s CryoSat-2 has delivered its first data just hours after ground controllers switched on the satellite’s radar instrument for the first time. CryoSat-2 was launched on 8 April and has been performing exceptionally well during these critical first few days in orbit, the agency said.

Honeywell announced that it has been selected to supply newly designed Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), used to accurately position satellites in orbit, for the United States Air Force (USAF) Global Positioning Satellite III Program, in a contract worth US$45 million.

Honeywell announced that the space industry’s first radiation hardened electronic component for communication systems, which improves the speed of serial data communication fifty-fold over existing space electronics, has been selected to upgrade communication systems on the International Space Station. It will be launched on NASA’s space shuttle in August 2010.

Raytheon Company said it completed a major communications upgrade in Antarctica for the U.S. National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) programme.

Over the past five years, the global space economy has grown almost 40 percent, reflecting increasing commercialisation, significant globalisation, and expansion of military and civil space programmes, according to The Space Report 2010.
