An earth station is located at Houston, Texas, that has a longitude of 99.5° and a latitude of 29.5° north. The satellite of interest is Satcom V. Determine the look angles for the earth station antenna.
Added by Virginia B.
Step 1
First, we need to find the position of the Satcom V satellite. We can use a satellite tracking website or software to get this information. Let's assume that the satellite is located at a longitude of 75° west and a latitude of 0° (i.e., it is directly above the Show more…

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 240 km away. The radar antenna is pointing upward at an angle of 50.6 ° above the ground. Find (a) the x and (b) the y components (in km) of the position vector of the satellite, relative to the antenna.
