Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a standard configuration for satellite communication systems, known as the "uplink" and "downlink" frequencies. The earth station sends the signal up to the satellite on one frequency (the uplink), and the satellite receives, regenerates and retransmits the signal back to earth on another frequency (the downlink).
