Mobile Satellite Communications and MSS
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Mobile satellite services (MSS), also known as mobile satellite communications, are commonly referred to as satellite communication systems that use portable terrestrial terminals rather than fixed satellite services (FSS). FSS use fixed terrestrial terminals where the location of the ground stations do not change frequently. Consumer satellite television (or cable television) uses FSS. MSS terminals may be placed in planes, ships and vehicles or may be carried by individuals. Satellite telephones use MSS. The three major kinds of MSS are as follows: land MSS (LMSS), aeronautical MSS (AMSS) and maritime MSS (MMSS).

Iridium Satellite Communications
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Iridium satellite communications or Iridium Satellite LLC as the company is formally known is a satellite phone service. It is based on the idea of mobile satellite communication. Iridium satellite communications initially planned to have 77 (and hence the name Iridium, because the atomic number of Iridium is 77) low earth orbit (LEO) satellites in space but now only 66 satellites are required to complete the system or the satellite constellation as it is known as. There are also a few extra satellites in space as back up in case one of the essential 66 satellites stops functioning properly. The Iridium logo has 7 dots and it is speculated that it refers to the original figure of 77.
