In this activity, you will present the top-level configuration of your space segment. This description should include:
Orbital parameters.
If you have selected a GEO system, include:
Number of spacecraft
Longitudinal location including separation from other satellites
If you have chosen a constellation:
Number of spacecraft in the total constellation
Orbital planes (altitude, inclination number of satellites per plane)
Frequency bands
Type of payload: (i.e., digital switching, bent pipe, hybrid, software reconfigurable)
Mass and power levels
Launch vehicle
Approximate cost:
Using the parameters above, select a similar satellite type, and estimate the space segment cost. Please consult with your instructor to get a reasonable analog.
You will create an audio-narrated presentation, which should be no more than five (5) slides and is not longer than five (5) minutes in length.
View the presentations of at least two (2) of your classmates and share collegial comments and feedback no later than the end of the third day of the Module 7 week. This will encourage timely comments and discussions.
To ensure that as many presentations as possible benefit from comments and feedback, you should not comment on a presentation with more than two (2) replies time-stamped before you submit your comments.
Additional comments will, of course, be considered in grading this assignment.
Your comments should be brief, no more than one (1) paragraph, and address both the sources of strength in your colleagues’ presentations and specific suggestions for opportunities for improvement.
Respond to comments posted to your presentation by your classmates and instructor.
