Difference between Astra 1A and Satellite

Astra 1A vs. Satellite

Astra 1A was the first satellite launched and operated by SES (Société Européenne des Satellites), launched in December 1988. In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit.

Similarities between Astra 1A and Satellite

Astra 1A and Satellite have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Communications satellite, Geocentric orbit, Graveyard orbit, Supersynchronous orbit, Thor (satellite).

Communications satellite

A communications satellite is an artificial satellite that relays and amplifies radio telecommunications signals via a transponder; it creates a communication channel between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on Earth.

Geocentric orbit

A geocentric orbit or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting Planet Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites.

Graveyard orbit

A graveyard orbit, also called a junk orbit or disposal orbit, is an orbit that lies away from common operational orbits.

Supersynchronous orbit

A supersynchronous orbit is either an orbit with a period greater than that of a synchronous orbit, or just an orbit whose apsis (apogee in the case of the earth) is higher than that of a synchronous orbit.

Thor (satellite)

Thor (previously known as Marcopolo) is a family of satellites designed, launched and tested by Hughes Space and Communications (now part of Boeing Satellite Systems) for British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB), and were used for Britain's Direct Broadcast Service.
