How ‘Satellite 101’ is Changing Our Understanding of Satellite Technology 

Satellites impact the way we connect and communicate. But how do they work? And why do we need them? “Satellite 101” is a new YouTube series that explains the basics of satellite technology. This YouTube series was published by Intelsat, the foundational architect of satellite communications with a rich 60-year history as a leader in space. Its goal is to help beginners and professionals understand and break down the complexity of satellite operations. 

Every episode of “Satellite 101” acts as a guide exploring fundamental topics like how satellites operate and where they orbit, the role satellites play in global 5G technology, as well as what it means to be “live via satellite.” Here’s a glimpse into some of the recent episodes: 

  1. What is a Satellite? 
  1. The Parts of a Satellite 
  1. Understanding Orbits 
  1. Making a Connection 
  1. Live via Satellite 
  1. Battle of the Bands 
  1. A “G” Thing 
  1. The Future of Satellites 

“Satellite 101” helps to bridge the knowledge gap between the fascinating world of satellites and the public’s understanding of their impact. The new series encourages a deeper understanding and appreciation of these orbiting wonders and their limitless potential to shape our future.
