ABSTRACT:
A transmitting apparatus for use in non-geostationary satellites which allows compliance with the restrictions placed on PFD even when the Earth is located between the geostationary satellite and the non-geostationary satellite. The transmitting apparatus 10 for use in non-geostationary satellites having a transmitting section 16 which sends a transmitting signal to the geostationary satellite, comprises an Earth-sensing section 19 for detecting the presence of the Earth in the direction of transmission and a transmission direction-shifting section 20 for shifting the direction of transmission of the transmitting signal in response to detection of the Earth-sensing section 19 to prevent the Earth from being exposed to the transmitting signal. Instead of the transmission direction-shifting section 20, there may be used a power supply-suspending section which automatically suspends power supply to the transmitting section 16 thereby stopping transmission of the transmitting signal.
