What are the purposes of Navigational satellite services and meteorological services?
Navigational satellite services include global positioning systems (GPS), and satellites intended for the
meteorological services often provide a search and rescue service. The very high frequency (VHF) band and L
band’s are used navigational services and for data transfer from weather satellites.
Active Satellite
• It amplifies the signal received from earth station or ground station and retransmits the amplified signal back to
earth.
• In addition to amplification, it performs frequency translation of the received signal before retransmission. Active

What is INTELSAT?
INTELSAT stands for International Telecommunications Satellite. INTELSAT covers three mainregions—the Atlantic Ocean Region
(AOR), the Indian Ocean Region (IOR),and the Pacific OceanRegion (POR) INTELSAT satellites provide a much wider range
of services than those availablepreviously, including such services as Internet, DTH TV, telemedicine,
teleeducation, and interactivevideo and multimedia.
A communications satellite (sometimes abbreviated to COMSAT) is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the
purpose of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites use a variety of orbits including geostationary
orbits, Molniya orbits, other elliptical orbits and low (polar and non-polar) Earth orbits.
