Examples of Space vehicle in a sentence
MISSION ORBIT The orbit of each Space Vehicle from which it supports the provision of the IRIDIUM Communications Service.
The main mission antenna (MMA) communicates directly with the ISUs. The Gateway/SCS and crosslink antennas of each Space Vehicle provide the capability to communicate with Gateway/SCS facilities within its field of view and neighboring Space Vehicles, respectively.
The SCS shall have the capability to plan the station keeping maneuvers and generate commands for each Space Vehicle as required to maintain its mission orbit.
SAFE MODE The mode a Space Vehicle enters when either it determines that a prescribed set of conditions are met, e.g., it loses all of its crosslinks or has not had any communications from the SCS for a specified time period, or it is commanded to enter the mode.
Each gateway has a minimum of two antennas; one operates with the Space Vehicle with which it is currently communicating, while the other establishes the link to the next Space Vehicle with which it will communicate.
