5.) An observation satellite is to be placed into a circular equatorial orbit so that it moves in the same direction as the earth's rotation. Using a synthetic aper- ture radar system, the satellite will store data on sur- face barometric pressure, and other weather related pa- rameters, as it flies overhead. These data will later be played back to a controlling earth station after each trip around the world. The orbit is to be designed so that the satellite is directly above the controlling earth sta- tion, which is located on the equator, once every 4 h. The controlling earth station's antenna is unable to op- erate below an elevation angle of 10° to the horizontal direction. Taking the earth's rotational period to in any be exactly 24 h, find the following quantities: a. The satellite's angular velocity in radians per second. b. The orbital period in hours. c. The orbital radius in kilometers.

Consider a communications satellite that orbits the Earth at a height of about 40,000 km. At this height the orbit period is 24 h, so that it seems to hang motionless above the Earth, which turns underneath the satellite once every 24 h. This is called a "synchronous" satellite. The advantage of such an arrangement is that receiving antennas on the ground can point at a seemingly fixed location of the satellite in the sky and not have to be steered. You have probably seen such fixed receiving antennas pointed at the sky. If the broadcasting antenna on the satellite is 2 m in diameter and broadcasts at a frequency of 10 GHz (f= 10 × 109 Hz), approximately what is the diameter of the region on the ground where the satellite transmission can be picked up?
How can the satellite clock bias error be eliminated from carrier-phase measurements? (this question is related to satellite positioning course)
