What is meant by the “mode” of an amateur radio satellite?
Whether the satellite is in a low earth or geostationary orbit
The satellite’s uplink and downlink frequency bands✓Richtige Antwort
The satellite’s orientation with respect to the Earth
Whether the satellite is in a polar or equatorial orbit
Erklärung
For an amateur satellite, mode names the pair of bands the spacecraft listens on and transmits on, such as an uplink on 70 centimeters with a downlink on 2 meters. Orbit type and spacecraft attitude are described by other terms and are not what the mode designator carries.
