Satellite is probably the most useful invention since the wheel. Satellites
have the capability to let you talk with someone across the nation or let you
close a business deal through video communication. Almost everything today is
heading towards the use of satellites, such as telephones. At&t has used this
communications satellite (top right) ever since the late 1950s. TVS and radios
are also turning to the use of satellites. RCA and Sony have released satellite
dishes for Radio and Television services. New technology also allows the
military to use satellites as a weapon. The new ION cannon is a satellite that
can shoot a particle beam anywhere on earth and create an earthquake. They can
also use it's capability for imaging enhancement, which allows you to zoom in on
someone's nose hairs all the way from space
The five major types of artificial satellites are: research, communications, weather, navigational, and applications. Please see the related links.

It has 3 satellites!
Triangulation of satellites requires three satellites that bank of one another simultaneously.
Those are called planetary satellites or natural satellites. Each planet has its own set of natural satellites that orbit around it.
Elliptical satellites don't have a constant speed, but circular satellites do
All the satellites, communications, exploratory, military etc. are artificial satellites of Earth.
Applications satellites, like weather satellites, communications satellites (TV, Cell phone, internet), military observation birds, reconnaissance satellites and other "useful" things predominate. Purely scientific satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope are in the minority.
If each ring can hold 3 satellites, you can accommodate all 24 satellites with 8 rings. Each ring would hold 3 satellites, for a total of 24 satellites.
Mercury has no natural satellites.
