Question: hoe does the satelite work

Dear 338 Ngrj
Satellites communicate by using radio waves to send signals to the antennas on the Earth. The antennas then capture those signals and process the information coming from those signals. Information can include:
– scientific data (like the pictures the satellite took),
– the health of the satellite, and
– where the satellite is currently located in space
Communications satellites bounce signals from one side of Earth to the other, a bit like giant mirrors in space. The satellite boosts the signal and sends it back down to Earth from its transmitter dish to a receiving dish somewhere else on Earth thus enabling us to communicate
