The phrase "a communication satellite" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a satellite that is designed to facilitate communication, such as transmitting television, radio, or internet signals.
Example: "The launch of a new communication satellite will enhance global connectivity and improve internet access in remote areas."
Alternatives: "a comms satellite" or "a telecom satellite".
By 2018 a communication satellite will have been launched into Mars' orbit, Mars One says.
In August, a different Russian rocket also failed, putting a communication satellite in an incorrect orbit.
Relations had been deteriorating since last month's launch of a communication satellite rocket – taken by some as an ill-disguised ballistic missile test – brought widespread international condemnation.
Earlier in August, the failure of an upper stage of a different Russian rocket put a communication satellite in a wrong orbit.
The space agency says it will send up a shuttle to rescue a communication satellite left stranded in a uselessly low orbit, provided the satellite's owner pays the mission's cost of at least $130 million.
All waveform data were transmitted continuously by a communication satellite or the Internet connection to Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo.
But a quantum communication satellite uses a crystal that produces a pair of entangled photons whose properties remain entwined even as one is transmitted over a large distance.
Hughes pointed out that shortcoming to the Chinese in 1995, when its scientists helped investigate the failed launching of a Hughes communication satellite atop a Chinese rocket.

For the tropical region, data from the Thaicom 2 and 3 satellites are used, and data from a Japanese communication satellite (CS) are used for the temperate area.
This approach exploits contemporary developments in miniaturization of electronics and other satellite systems to allow the construction and operation of highly capable spacecraft massing in the kilogram range, so-called nanosats.3 In contrast, a geostationary communication satellite is typically 1000 times greater in mass.
