Sažetak
The project “ MOST” (Micro variability and Oscillations of Stars) is a Canadian micro satellite space telescope mission. The micro satellite carries a Rumak-Maksutov telescope with an aperture of 15 cm. The size of the satellite is 65 cm x 65 cm x 30 cm and the mass is about 65 kg. The goals of the mission are to analyze the inner structure of stars, set a lower limit to the age of the universe and to search for Exoplanets. The project MOST consists of a Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) Satellite and three ground stations, one of them in Vienna [1]. The Vienna ground station system was set up at the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Vienna in cooperation with the Institute of Communications and Radio-Frequency Engineering of the Vienna University of Technology. During the link budget calculations atmospheric attenuation had to be considered. The satellite link operates in 2 GHz band. In this band the ionospheric effects are negligible. This paper presents the methodology applied for rain attenuation calculations.
