Orbit spectrum, also known as satellite spectrum, is a segment of a

communication satellite, and weather satellite services. To ensure quality of services, this orbit spectrum must be used by service providers according to the terms and conditions approved by the respective government. Regulatory measures must be enforced. This practice of regulating the spectrum within the limits of permissions or licenses
is part of spectrum management.

Missions

Orbit spectrum requires management which in turn needs effective spectrum monitoring exercises to enforce regulatory measures for ensuring legal usage of spectrum resource. Many examples of such spectrum monitoring exercises were undertaken by different

countries
around the world.

Regulation and Allocation

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) plays a crucial role in regulating and allocating frequencies in the radio-frequency spectrum, including those used by satellites. Different frequency bands are designated for various satellite communication services.

Frequency Bands

Satellite communication operates in various frequency bands, including C-band, Ku-band, Ka-band, and others. The choice of frequency bands depends on factors such as the type of service, satellite orbit, and atmospheric conditions.
