    Solar wind interfering with satellite communications

    Hello. I was wondering about something the last few weeks and that is if the solar wind can affect communication systems between satellites. I am not referring to the physical damage that the solar wind might produce to the satellite, but the interference it might have on the radio signal that...

    How do astronauts communicate with Earth during space missions?

    I have always wondered about this. When we went to the moon how did we communicate back to earth? On the same note, what are the ways to communicate from the outer space? i.e from moon, mars, pluto? If we managed to visit a place 20 light years away, how could we communicate back to Earth...

    Electrical Data Communications

    What is the best way of viewing data sent by a modem through a telephone line: as a changing voltage in terms of time or as moving electrical signals? In my Networking course exchanged bits, bytes, and packets, are portrayed as waves (current changing with distance) that propagate through the wires.
