Bell TV broadcasts from four geostationary satellites: Nimiq 1, 2, 3 and 4iR.

Since then, Telesat has successfully launched 11 more Anik satellites, as well as Nimiq, a new satellite that brings direct-to-home satellite television to Canadians from coast to coast.

Originally called DirectTV3 and DirectTV2 respectively, these Hughes HS-601 models were brought out of retirement and are currently used to share some of the workload from Nimiq 2 and Nimiq 1, respectively.

Nimiq 4iR is temporary and is being replaced by Nimiq 4.

Nimiq 4 was launched by a Proton rocket which lifted off on September 19, 2008 at 21: 48 UTC.

LyngSat provides a listing of channels on Nimiq 1 and Nimiq 2 broken down by transponder.

Telesat announced on December 30, 2009 that Nimiq 6 will be built by Space Systems / Loral ( SS / L ).

Nimiq 1 was launched on May 21, 1999 by a Proton-K Blok DM-3 rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Nimiq 3 and Nimiq 4i were leased by Bell TV from DirecTV Inc. when they were already in orbit.

Nimiq 4i ran out of fuel and was replaced by Nimiq 4iR on April 28, 2007.

Nimiq 4 was launched on September 19, 2008, by a Proton-M / Breeze M rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Telesat Canada contracted with International Launch Services in April 2007 for the launch of Nimiq 5 by an ILS Proton Briz M rocket.

As a result of this, SES has announced that they will not be replacing the ill fated AMC-14 now that Dish Network has cut this deal with Telesat & BCE for Nimiq 5 usage.

In 2009 Telesat announced plans to build and launch its 19th satellite, Nimiq 5.

Nimiq 1 was launched on May 20, 1999 and contains 32 Ku-band transponders at 91 ° W. ( From the time of service launch in 1997 to the switch to Nimiq in 1999, ExpressVu used the already crowded Anik E2.

' Nimiq ' is an Inuit word used for an object or a force which binds things together.

Plans have been shelved for any additional ExpressVu satellite expenditures assuming pending CRTC and Industry Canada approval for Dish Network to use all 32 transponders on Nimiq 5.

Originally called DirecTV3, it is an old DirecTV satellite moved to a new orbital slot near Nimiq 1 to offload some of the transmitting work from the original satellite.

In February 2006, Nimiq 3 was moved behind Nimiq 2 to support it, while another satellite, Nimiq 4i ( formerly DirecTV2 ), took Nimiq 3s spot behind Nimiq 1.

The size of the dish was increased from 18 to 20 inches in late 2001 to accommodate a second LNB to acquire signal from Nimiq 2 ( BEV 82 ) satellite.

It selected International Launch Services ( ILS ) for the launch of the Nimiq 5 satellite in 2009.

The Nimiq 5 satellite was shipped from the manufacturer, Space Systems Loral located in Palo Alto California, to the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan, on August 18, 2009.

Nimiq 2 provides additional bandwidth for HDTV and interactive television applications.

It will replace Nimiq 4i, and will provide advanced services such as high-definition television, specialty channels and foreign language programming.

Using launch systems presently available, we are developing satellites to scout the world's weather ; ;

these instruments are installed on rockets, satellites, and space probes.

Avionics are the electronic systems used on aircraft, artificial satellites, and spacecraft.

Rockets are used for fireworks, weaponry, ejection seats, launch vehicles for artificial satellites, human spaceflight and exploration of other planets.

At the local headend, the feed signals from the individual television channels are received by dish antennas from communication satellites.

Even in less-developed parts of the world, communications satellites are used largely for point-to-multipoint applications, such as video.

The following stations are listed in the EP report ( p. 54 ff ) as likely to have, or to have had, a role in intercepting transmissions from telecommunications satellites:

Domestic systems are open wire ; microwave radio relay ; radio communication in the HF, VHF, and UHF frequencies ; two domestic satellites provide the national trunk service.

::* Quasi self-similarity: approximates the same pattern at different scales ; may contain small copies of the entire fractal in distorted and degenerate forms ; e. g., the Mandelbrot set's satellites are approximations of the entire set, but not exact copies, as shown in Figure 1

It is only because GPS satellites orbit about the geocentre, that this point becomes naturally the origin of a coordinate system defined by satellite geodetic means, as the satellite positions in space are themselves computed in such a system.

The first satellites bear the names of eleven-year-old Thijs from Belgium and nine-year-old Natalia from Bulgaria who are the first winners of the European Commission's Galileo children's drawing competition.

As old satellites are replaced in the GPS Block IIIA program, SA will cease to be an option.

There are methods available to detect hail-producing thunderstorms using weather satellites and weather radar imagery.

Many TV services are available by satellite, such as Sky, and Freesat from the Astra 2 / Eurobird 1 group, as well as services from a range of other satellites around Europe such as Astra 1 and Hot Bird.

The major data sources are the worldwide network of ionosondes, the powerful incoherent scatter radars ( Jicamarca, Arecibo, Millstone Hill, Malvern, St. Santin ), the ISIS and Alouette topside sounders, and in situ instruments on several satellites and rockets.

In the absence of other information, the axis of rotation is assumed to be normal to the mean orbital plane ; Mercury and most of the satellites are in this category.

There is currently a system where marketers and advertisers are able to tap into satellites, and broadcast commercials and advertisements directly to cell phones, unsolicited by the phone's user.

The common types of remote sensing are Radar, Lidar, and satellites ( or photogrammetry ).

As observed in the 1970s by the ATS satellites at 6. 6 R < SUB > E </ SUB >, when conditions are favorable that can happen up to several times a day.

The Skrull Empire is located in the Andromeda galaxy, the Kree Empire in the Magellan clouds which are satellites of the Milky Way galaxy in which Earth of course is found, while the Shi ´ ar Empire is located somewhere between them in one of the smaller galaxies ( perhaps Triangulum ); frequently, these three empires are quoted as the main political powers " in the universe ".

There are only a few known mean motion resonances in the Solar System involving planets, dwarf planets or larger satellites ( a much greater number involve asteroids, planetary rings, moonlets and smaller Kuiper belt objects, including many dwarf planet candidates ).

Bodies which are gravitationally bound to one of the planets in a planetary system, either natural or artificial satellites, follow orbits about a barycenter near that planet.

Artificial satellites are too small to have an appreciable tidal effect on the planets they orbit, but several moons in the solar system are undergoing orbital decay by this mechanism.
