La télémesure satellitaire est extraordinaire parce qu'elle permet à un spécialiste de la recherche sur la faune de localiser un animal muni d'un émetteur où qu'il soit. L'émetteur envoie un signal à un récepteur à bord d'un des satellites en orbite autour de la Terre, à une altitude de 850 km. Plusieurs satellites sont nécessaires parce que les animaux ciblés sont constamment en mouvement et il est nécessaire qu'au moins l'un d'entre eux soit au bon endroit pour effectuer un captage signal. Le satellite transmet la position de l'animal à une station terrestre [...] 3, record 6, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9mesure%20satellitaire
