Across
- 3. The subsystem used to correct vehicle injection errors and perform periodic position changes for different Earth coverage patterns.
- 6. The control that refers to the inner workings of the spacecraft.
- 7. The segment that is comprised of the space vehicles that carry satellite communications payloads.
- 9. The segment that encompasses the personnel, equipment, and facilities that use the capabilities provided by the satellite payload.
- 10. The control that encompasses satellite control and monitoring stations.
- 12. The subsystem that transmits a fixed frequency that enables the control segment to determine a spacecraft’s position in space.
Down
- 1. The subsystem that allows the satellite to send radio signals between terminals or between other satellites.
- 2. The segment responsible for overall system operation including spacecraft control, payload control, and communications network control.
- 4. The control that includes the stabilization, maneuvering, repositioning and the proper functioning of the systems onboard the entire spacecraft.
- 5. The subsystem that generates and regulates the power required by the satellite.
- 8. The number of subsystems that all satellites consist of.
- 11. The subsystem that can execute commands sent from the Control Segment and send its own data back to the control segment.
- 12. The metal or composite structure of the satellite spacecraft that holds all of the components together as one integral unit.
