Arqiva Morn Hill Teleport sign on wooden post
Morn Hill is one of a number of Satellite Teleports that make up 25 per cent of the UK's space infrastructure and has been operational since 2000. The site provides national and international television, radio, satellite and wireless communications in the UK, Europe and the USA. The site uplinks to satellites in geostationary orbit - a circular orbit positioned approximately 35,900 km (22,258 mi) above the equator. An object in this orbit will appear stationary relative to the rotating Earth because the object moves at a speed to keep pace with the earth’s rotation and in the same direction. Communications and weather satellites are usually placed in a geostationary orbit.
