🔍 Key Concepts

• Stabilized satellite antennas must continuously track a moving point in the sky as the ship rolls and pitches • The role of internal motion sensors (pitch/roll/heading sensors) in keeping the antenna pointed at the satellite • Difference between a system status indication and the actual mechanical/pointing limitation of the antenna

💭 Think About

• Which condition would most directly prevent the antenna from accurately following the satellite as the vessel moves, regardless of transmit power? • How would loss of pitch/roll information affect the antenna’s ability to maintain direction compared to simply seeing a high elevation angle? • What does it mean when an antenna reaches its maximum travel in one direction – can it still follow the satellite if the vessel’s motion continues beyond that limit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes a problem with antenna stabilization/control, not radio power level or normal geometry • Consider which indication suggests the antenna cannot move or track any farther in the required direction • Verify which condition would cause intermittent or lost lock even though other system parameters might appear normal
