What is a Sun OutageA sun outage, sun transit or sun fade is an interruption in or distortion of geostationary satellite signals caused by interference from solar radiation. The effect is due to the sun’s radiation overwhelming the satellite signal.

Azimuth and True Elevation CalculationsCommunication satellites move in a fixed orbit in the sky directly above the equator, relative to an observation point on earth. In order to communicate with a satellite, your antenna must be able to “see” the location in the sky above the equator in which the satellite is located. The situation of an unobstructed view between the satellite and the antenna is known as “having a line-of-sight” to the satellite. It is important to conduct an accurate site survey to determine the optimal location for the VSAT. If you are not experienced in performing the site survey yourself, you should hire a Certified SkyVision Installer. Contact your SkyVision Sales Manager for assistance.
