How many satellites orbit the US?
Satellites cannot orbit the US; they orbit the Earth, and there are several thousand of them.
Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?
Circum polar satellites.
Do all space satellites stay in the thermosphere?
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
What are man-made satellites?
They are the machines that we put in orbit. Natural satellites are things like the moon, that got into orbit without our intervention.
What do you call satellites that orbit various planets?
the satellites probaly mean moons
Where do communications satellites orbit?
Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.
How do communication satellites get into orbit?
Communication satellites are lifted into orbit by rockets.
How many satellites orbit the US?
Satellites cannot orbit the US; they orbit the Earth, and there are several thousand of them.
Does dbs also known as direct broadcast satellite such as directv and dishtv orbit in a geosynchronous orbit?
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
What is the tv satellites orbit called?
The tv satellites orbit called is a geo stationery.
What is a circumpolar satellite?
In astronomy, it is a word denoting a star that from a given observer's latitude does not go below the horizon. For instance, no matter what time of year it is, if I go out on a clear night in Britain I can always see the stars of the plough (big dipper), they are circumpolar. However I can only see Orion in winter, it is not circumpolar.
Why don't satellites orbit in circles?
It's difficult to get satellites into exactly circular orbits; if there is any irregularity, then the orbit is an ellipse, not circular. In nature, everything in space travels in an elliptical path.
What orbit are monitoring satellites put into?
Polar orbit
What is the name of the orbit that allows satellites to orbit the earth but yet appear stationary?
The Earth orbit in which satellites appear to be stationary is called the, "Geostationary Orbit". Some call it a synchronous orbit.
How many satellites orbit Saturn?
there is no satellites orbiting Saturn
Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?
Circum polar satellites.
Cost of satellite?
There are two types of satellites, Genuine Satellites, which are any body that orbit a planet. For instance, our moon is a satellite of the earth, and there are artificial satellites which are man made objects that orbit a planet. These range from few tens of millions, to few hundred millions.
