I've been busy lately trying to understand the satellite system. My goal is for PL to have a Satellite and maybe even in the future share global satellite feeds thru exchanges with countries or businesses.
I know the Satellite needs power so the actual components are operating. I know you need to select thermal protecting insulators to components to protect it from the Allen belt radiation but also so components don't fry.
There is 2 major parts the rocket for transport and the Payload(components usually frequency processing, processor that organizes it to a command center and software to organise the data(images which are signals) and apply gps coordinates to it. I know u need a satellite dish so an upload and download link is set up or a path for the signals to return through.
Does anyone know much about the rocket components(as I don't have a mechanical background). I know the mass of the satellite will determine what size power you need to escape gravity velocity at different stages thru the ascent into orbit. Their is low, medium, and high orbit locations. U definitely need something to control the altitude and location you send it into space.
