Default Calculate Transmission delay for the path using a satellite link

wrote:
I am having a scenario as under.
I need to calcluate approx. minimum round trip for comunication where
path used is a satellite link. consider the transmission in both
direction is via geostationary satellite & travelling at spped of
light(300,000Km/sec). to consider the transmission delay to transmit
the data.


Draw a sphere.
Draw in the satellite orbit.
Draw in the signal path to a point on the surface of the sphere.
Calculate the distance from the point on the surface, to the satellite,
using trig, or measuring the drawing, and multiply by two, then divide
by the speed.
