Quotes about Satellites

The bigger the cycle, the more effect you can expect on communications systems, satellites and astronaut travel.

Peter Gilman

What we're doing is fusing together images through the use of multiple satellites. Each satellite has its own view of the Earth, and we're piecing many of them together for a more complete picture.

Chris Velden

In 1959 we'd just begun the Space Age, and we didn't have communications satellites, for example. So the same size cycle as 1959 would have a much bigger effect today, because there's much more sensitivity to it.

Peter Gilman

Eliminating a competitor should be good for the pricing environment of the entire industry, and Intelsat can run their satellites more efficiently than before. You can expect much more consolidation to take place.

Thijs Berkelder

(The deal) brings to the forefront the value that satellites will have in the Internet world, as a means of bringing content to the edge of the network and improving speeds so that users can receive more robust applications.

Ty Carmichael

The DoD has never specifically asked the satellite industry to harden its satellites, because it knows it's not something the industry has to do for its commercial satellites.

David Cavossa

We've been launching an average of just over 15 large commercial satellites annually during the past three years, and we expect this level to remain about the same in 2006.

Marco Caceres

It's part of their containment policy towards China. They want to be ready for a war with China over Taiwan. This is Cold War logic. They have spy satellites. Why do they have to send planes so close?

Shen Jiru

You wouldn't be able to watch the Cartoon Network if you didn't have satellites.

Keith Brown

The ability of the military to easily upgrade its deployed fleet of LHGXA antennas with this new capability, while maintaining backward compatibility with its terminals and satellites, is clearly a force multiplier.

Dan Pearson

Sometimes satellites can be damaged beyond repair.

Larry Combs

As time has progressed, we've gotten better data from more satellites, and faster computers.

Chris Cox

That was somewhat surprising because ground-based observers had been trying for more than a decade to find new satellites around Pluto. But I felt almost certain even when I first saw them that they were real objects - not any sort of artifact - and that they were exhibiting orbital motion around Pluto.

Max Mutchler

The earth at night is one of [their] most popular images. And you can click on the image and that will bring up a higher resolution image that you can find your hometown on. Its not just one shot, it was built up by defense satellites.

Robert Nemiroff

This antenna allows you to track the satellites to bring the signal onto the airplane, but the real technology breakthrough has been using that same technology to bring the broadband data off the airplane.

Scott Carson

It looks like, because of the geometry, that we might actually be able to fly pretty close to both of those satellites.

Hal Weaver

With these satellites NGA provides FEMA with geospatial information that can cover the affected states.

Howard Cohen

We're focused on what we do best. Everything we do is for the display, [as opposed to several of] our competitors, many of whom are much larger companies selling everything from microwaves and computer devices to satellites.

James Chu

That loss forced us to concentrate on the satellites. And from my perspective, the satellites are where the action is. That's where the big surprises came.

Claudia Alexander

Back then we didn't have satellites and we didn't have aircraft reconnaissance. So it's quite possible that a lot of those hurricanes had an 882-millibar pressure. We just weren't around there to see.

Jeff Masters

We'll develop more satellites so as to form a joint earth observation system and a new-generation regional satellite navigating and positioning system.
