Hightech in Space The Secrets of Hidden Data Transmission

hough invisible to the human eye, satellites play a huge role in our daily lives.

The transmission signal that travels at the speed of light between satellites and planet earth is the reason we are able to watch programs on TV, listen to the radio, do our banking online and many other things. But have we ever wondered about the process and man work, which lies behind this feat?

In this documentary, we will uncover the secrets of hidden data transmission while following the construction, transportation and activation of a satellite in outer space from a factory hall in the South of France into the cosmos. The building and setting up of a satellite is complex and strenuous work. It has to be done with precision. From the tiniest screw to the overall weight - every little detail has to be thoroughly and repeatedly checked - because in space there is no room for mistakes. We take you on a journey behind the scenes of the non-visible data transfer of television and internet.
