How do satellites work? Visit Web sites such as octopus.gma.org/surfing/satellites/satellite.html or www.atek.com/satellite/work.html for easy-to-understand discussions of the basics, including geosynchronous, medium, and low-earth orbiting satellites. You can find more information on satellite orbits at www.np.ac.sg/~chw/orbits.html. For an excellent overview of satellite technology, read the November 1997 issue of BYTE (www.byte.com/art/9711/sec5/art1.htm). You can view some interesting satellite images at Dundee Satellite Receiving Station, www.sat.dundee.ac.uk, a satellite receiving installation in the United Kingdom. You can interact with some fascinating satellite simulations at www.cea.berkeley.edu/Education/lessons/indiv/
dataflow/animation.html--a wonderful set of Web pages designed by Eric Olson.
