How high can a satellite go, and remain a satellite of the Earth? About 500,000 miles, and at any altitude above about 150,000 miles, a satellite probably won't remain in a stable orbit.
The problem is that as the satellite gets further away from Earth, the Earth's gravitational attraction decreases; and at some point, the attraction of the Moon, or the Sun, is of significance. As the years go by, little tugs of the Sun and Moon will distort the orbit a little, and the minor distortions will eventually add up - and the satellite might fall to Earth, or crash into the Moon, or be pulled out of Earth orbit and start orbiting the Sun.
There are dozens of spacecraft that have been launched out of Earth orbit; some are in Solar orbit, so they are satellites of the SUN, not the Earth. One is a satellite of Mercury, a couple of Venus, many around Mars, some of Jupiter and one of Saturn. And two spacecraft aren't even satellites of the Sun any longer; the two Voyager space probes launched in the 70's are on a path that will never return to the Sun, and will continue on into deep space.
What else can I help you with?
Are all the spacecrafts that go to moon called satellites?
No - satellites do not go to the moon. Satellites orbit planets/moons/objects with gravity in space.
Why are satellites high up above the earth?
Because satellites can't stay in orbit if they're moving through air, so they have to be high enough where there's no air.
Do satellites go by Venus?
yes many
What country has the most number of satellites per population?
Luxembourg has the most number of satellites per population, with a high number of satellites for every 1,000 people compared to other countries.
How high are the sky broadcast satellites?
22,340 miles above the equator.
Are satellites in high earth orbit pulled to earth by gravity?
yes.
How do scientists predict tsunami?
they use satellites to see if there is high or low pressure.
What is the name of the satellites that has explored mars?
it is easy go on bing
What are the names of the 2 martial satellites?
The two military satellites commonly referred to as "martial satellites" are the U.S. Navy's Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and the U.S. Air Force's Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellites. GPS provides positioning and timing information for military and civilian use, while AEHF satellites enable secure communications for U.S. and allied military forces.
What are the natural satellites of Mars?
Phobos and Diemos. Both are very small, as planetary satellites go, and both are suspected of being captured asteroids.
Developments to improve silk routes in high altitude regions?
the main reason is satellites.
What have satellites done for us?
Satellites have done a lot of things. We can now use GPS to not get lost. We can see places we normally would never go.
