Definition:
 
artificial satellite to aid telecommunications: an artificial satellite used to relay data such as radio, telephone, and television signals around the world. Signals may be reflected, but more often they are strengthened using a solar-powered transponder. Satellites often follow a geostationary orbit, remaining in the same position relative to Earth.
