The present paper deals with the study of a reliability analysis of a model for a single unit system used for communication through satellites. The Satellite news gathering network using transportable VSATs (Very Small Aperture Terminals), sometimes called ‘fly-away’ stations, are transported by car or aircraft and set up at a location where news reporters can transmit video signals to a hub located near the company's studio. In the present study, stochastic analysis of a transportable VSAT used for voice communication and satellite news gathering has been carried out. On requirement, the system is unpacked and assembled. After the assembling process, it becomes operative for the purpose. System is disassembled when requirement is over. Various measures of system effectiveness have been obtained by making use of regenerative point technique.
