                     satellite  payload  subsystem.  Explain  the  function  of  a  payload
                     system.
                     The  payload  on  a  satellite  is  the  equipment  that  provides  the

                     service  or  services  intended  for  the  satellite.  A  communications
                     satellite  payload  consists  of  the  communications  equipment  that

                     provides the relay link between the up- and down-links from the
                     ground. The communications payload can be further divided into
                     the transponder and the antenna subsystems.




               2e     Explain the types of earth station
                      Transmit only: transmit signal only towards the satellite

                      Receive only: receive signal only from the satellite
                      Transmit and received: transmit and received the signal to/from
