This study examines the methodologies and costs of establishing educational delivery systems using satellites currently in orbit or planned. It identifies two operational system scenarios and their predicted costs. One system, the Canadian Universities Satellite System (CUSS), is hypothesized to provide the means of transmitting audio and video courses from any of about ten universities to about twenty locations. The originating stations will be classrooms equipped with monochrome cameras, microphones, and a loud speaker system for reception from remote locations. Receiving stations will be equipped with TV monitor microphones, and a loud speaker. The second system, the Provincial Educational Telephone System (PETS), is hypothesized as a network of 197 locations. Ten locations would be equipped with two audio channels to permit two courses to be delivered simultaneously. All locations would be capable of receiving four channels--three for courses and one for notes or library references. Headphones would allow mixed courses to be held in one room. Both CUSS and PETS would have a Centralized Network Control Center for ensuring that simultaneous courses from several locations are transmitted at designated frequencies, and courses and corresponding return channel frequencies are selected appropriately at each receiving station. The estimated annual cost for CUSS is $3,500,000, and for PET is $11,000 per location. All major components of cost to install and operate such systems are considered. (DAG)
