Communications satellite. 3-dimensional computer graphic of a communications satellite over Europe, looking north. Powered by their outstretched solar panels, satellites like this relay telephone and television signals around the planet. The 3-D per- spective of Europe was created by a cartography program that wraps an accurate geographical map onto a sphere.
