| 单词 | Satellite |
| 释义 | 衛星 A natural or artificial object which orbits another object in outer space. For example, the moon is a natural satellite of the earth. Man-made satellites are devices launched into space to orbit around the earth for a specific purpose such as the transmission of radio messages, navigation, and intelligence gathering. The use of satellites is governed by the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Outer Celestial Bodies (Outer Space Treaty) 1967. The treaty provides that contracting parties are internationally liable for damage caused to another state: arts 6, 7. The International Telecommunications Satellite Organisation (INTELSAT), an intergovernmental organisation which had operated a global satellite system based on a non-discriminatory principle that all states have the right of access to the system, has since 2001 become a private company, Intelsat Ltd, providing telecommunications services via satellite to customers worldwide. In relation to telecommunications, the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (‘OFTA’) monitors the operations of satellite systems registered in Hong Kong under the Outer Space Ordinance (Cap 523) to ensure that they comply with the respective licences. On satellite regulation and co-ordination, OFTA was authorised by the Ministry of Information Industry of the People’s Republic of China to lead satellite operators in holding meetings with other administrations and international satellite organisations on all technical and operational aspects of the co-ordination of frequency assignments.
