When DIRECTV began in 1994, we were first to deliver an all-digital, high-power, multi-channel TV programming service via an 18" satellite dish. As we've grown, we've contributed to the evolution of TV with our electronic program guide, digital video recorder services, interactive features, HD programming and quality customer service. |

Satellite:
"A satellite is any object that orbits another object (which is known as its primary). Satellites can be spacecraft manufactured on Earth and sent into orbit on a launch vehicle, they may be naturally occurring such as moons, comets, asteroids, planets, stars, and even galaxies, or they may be space debris. on of the primary object is also affected by the satellite. If two objects are sufficiently similar in mass, they are generally referred to as a binary system rather than a primary object and satellite; an extreme example is the 'double asteroid' 90 Antiope. The general criterion for an object to be a satellite is that the center of mass (known as the Barycenter) of the two objects is inside the primary object. Another, perhaps better known, example is the dwarf planet Pluto and its companion, Charon. While many consider Charon to be a satellite of Pluto, this can be debated, as their masses are similar to the point where their barycenter is not within either object. Accordingly, some consider Pluto and Charon to be the two members of a double planet system." - Wikipedia.org |
