    Satellite dishes on the embassy of Egypt in Berlin (2009). Fixed-satellite service (FSS, or fixed-satellite radiocommunication service) is – according to article 1.21 of the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Radio Regulations (RR) [1] – defined as A radiocommunication service between earth stations at given positions, when one or more satellites are used; the given position may ...

  3. Flight service station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_service_station

    The Lone Rock Flight Service Station from 1928 to 1985, in the EAA Aviation Museum. A flight service station (FSS) [1] is an air traffic facility that provides information and services to aircraft pilots before, during, and after flights, but unlike air traffic control (ATC), is not responsible for giving instructions or clearances or providing separation.

  4. FSS Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSS_Code

    The FSS Code or International Code for Fire Safety Systems is a set of international treaties organised by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) under the SOLAS Convention that are designed to reduce the risk of fire, and aid in emergency response aboard ships. [1]

    FSS systems currently in orbit have a huge capacity with a relatively low price structure. FSS systems provide various applications for subscribers, including: telephony, fax, television, high-speed data communication services, Internet access, satellite news gathering (SNG), Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and others. These systems provide ...

  6. Flight information service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_information_service

    The related implementation of flight information service is commonly known as UNICOM, but in some situations, this service is provided by the primary FSS frequency (callsign RADIO), in addition to which a few U.S. airports now also have bespoke AFIS services, but this is implemented as a recording similar to ATIS and AWOS, not a live service.

    Financial Supervisory system in S. Korea prior to FSS [ edit ] Before the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) was established, Korea's financial supervisory system was largely fragmented, with the banking, securities, insurance, and non-bank sectors individually managed and regulated by a separate agency.

  8. Frequency selective surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_selective_surface

    The FSS sheet may be represented in terms of lumped RLC networks placed in parallel across the transmission line. The shunt admittance FSS model is exact only for an infinitesimally thin FSS, for which the tangential electric field is continuous across the FSS; for finite thickness FSS, a tee or pi network can be used as a better approximation.

  9. Flying-spot scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying-spot_scanner

    Flying-spot scanner technology was later implemented by DuMont Laboratories in the Vitascan color television system, released in 1956. Vitascan produced NTSC color video using a camera that acted in reverse by housing the flying-spot CRT which was projected through the camera's lens and illuminated the subject in a special light-tight studio.
