About this document
Overview of Passive Communication Satellites by tayabachaity is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A passive satellite is an artificial satellite that reflects signals from Earth without generating or processing them, functioning like a mirror in space. The first passive satellite, Echo-I, was launched by NASA in 1960 and is primarily used for communication experiments and tracking. While passive satellites are reliable and cost-effective, they require high power from Earth stations and face challenges such as signal attenuation and lack of control from the ground.
