Why is the low altitude of the ISS (International Space Station) good for the transmitters?
Very good! The transmitters must use their energy efficiently, because this limits the life of the small sensors. The electricity is mainly generated from solar energy, but it can happen that the solar panel is covered by bird feathers. More.
Unfortunately not! Transferring the data is more energy efficient. The transmitters must use their energy efficiently, because this limits the life of the small sensors. The electricity is mainly generated from solar energy, but it can happen that the solar panel is covered by bird feathers. More.
