Satellite Communication System

The satellite communication system is a crucial infrastructure for research vessels to maintain communication with land during maritime operations. The R/V New Ocean Researcher 1 is equipped with a VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) system, which receives signals from multiple Ku-band satellites to provide stable, wide-area data transmission. This system supports essential onboard internet services, including email, instant messaging, and web access, and also offers VOIP voice communication, ensuring clear voice links between the vessel and shore. Featuring automatic satellite tracking and directional adjustment, the VSAT system maintains a stable connection in motion, making it particularly suited for long voyages and remote operations. This communication technology significantly enhances information flow and operational coordination, serving as a key support element to ensure the successful execution of research missions.
