The total demand for voice, video, and data communications services, and satellite transmission services at the 4/6 GHz, 12/14 GHz, and 18/30 GHz frequencies is discussed. Major study objectives, overall methodology, results, and general observations about a satellite systems market characteristics and trends are summarized.
The total demand for communications services, and satellite transmission services at the 4/6 GHz, 12/14 GHz, and 18/30 GHz frequencies is assessed. The services are voice, video, and data services. Traffic demand, by service, is distributed by geographical regions, population density, and distance between serving points. Further distribution of traffic is made among four major end user groups: business, government, institutions and private individuals. A traffic demand analysis is performed on a typical metropolitan city to examine service distribution trends. The projected cost of C and Ku band satellite systems are compared on an individual service basis to projected terrestrial rates. Separation of traffic between transmission systems, including 18/30 GHz systems, is based on cost, user, and technical considerations.
The market analysis of voice, video, and data 18/30 GHz communications systems services and satellite transmission services is discussed. Detail calculations, computer displays of traffic, survey questionnaires, and detailed service forecasts are presented.
The attenuation factor for aircraft other than the B-747 in reducing the ambient ozone concentrations which enter the cabin is obtained. The need to continue NASA Global Air Sampling Program measurements was expressed for three main purposes; testing new filters, correlation of complaints with ozone levels, and ambient ozone data. The need to continue cooperation between NASA and industry is indicated. Concern with regard to the correlation of ozone levels and complaints was given. The need to measure the variability of ozone within the aircraft cabin was investigated. The requirement for an onboard ozone monitor on all aircraft is discussed.
