 Pete and his team fix the cable, check the satellite and microwave antennas, and then go back to the cave to the control board. While the link has been re-established, there is much interference being generated. Pete accesses the database on satellite communications and discovers that there are a variety of hazards that can impact the ability of a satellite to transmit or receive signals. Two such types of interference are caused by rain in Earth's atmosphere and dust storms on the planet's surface. They have to wait 30 minutes before the apparent storm passes and the interference subsides.
