ABSTRACT:
A system for preventing the interruption of satellite communications between an earth antenna and a satellite during inclement weather. The system is comprised of a cover that is adapted to be positioned on the opening of the satellite cover so as to reduce the likelihood of liquid water accumulating on the front reflecting surface of the antenna. The cover and the front reflecting surface further define a space and an air circulation system circulates air in the space. The circulating air increases the air pressure in the space relative to the surrounding atmosphere and pressurized air then travels through the cover and blows water accumulating on the outer surface of the cover off of the outer surface to further reduce the likelihood that accumulations of water on the outer surface of the cover will result in interruptions to satellite communications with the earth based satellite antenna.
