How is the satellite in a space shuttle kept in the correct orbit around the Earth?
Well because of its forward motion. The definition of gravity is an attraction between 2 or more objects. The gravity from Earth is pulling the satellite towards earth or it is falling down. Now it becomes awkward..... The forward motion of the satellite will make itself fall around the Earth or it goes in an orbit.
HOPE I HELPED!!!!!
What else can I help you with?
The space shuttle releases a satellite into a circular orbit 600 km above the Earth How fast must the shuttle be moving relative to Earth when the release occurs?
This depends on the type of shuttle and its orbit. The speed can differ from satellite to satellite, therefore a definite answer can not be given about the exact speed of shuttle while it releases satellite.
What was the name of the first space shuttle or satellite to be sent in space from Earth?
The USSR's Sputnik was the first artificial satellite.
Is the space shuttle Discovery a natural ot artificial satellite?
The space shuttle Discovery was an artificial satellite, as it was a spacecraft designed and launched by humans to orbit Earth and carry out specific missions, rather than occurring naturally in space.
How orbital speed of a satellite depends on its radius?
The larger the orbit, the longer the period of revolution. The Space Shuttle, when it is in orbit, revolves once around the earth in about 90 minutes. The moon ... and any other satellite at a distance of about a quarter million miles from earth ... takes about 27 days to revolve once around the earth.
How is the moon a satellite to earth?
A satellite is any object that is in orbit around another object. The moon is a natural satellite of the Earth because it orbits around the Earth.
Is earth considered as a satellite?
Yes. The Earth rotates around the Sun, and therefore it is a satellite of the Sun. Anything that rotates around something else can be cositered a satellite.
What is a natural satellite that revolves around earth?
The Moon is Earth's natural satellite.
What is the difference between a space probe and a space satellite and a space rocket and a space shuttle?
Generally, a satellite orbits the Earth, while a space probe is sent to gather information beyond Earth orbit. However, probe can orbit the Earth (and therefore technically be a satellite) or go into orbit around another body (the Moon, Mars, etc.) and therefore also technically become a satellite of that body.
Why is the moon called the satellite of the earth?
The moon is called a satellite of earth because it revolves around the earth
What is the difference between space satellite and space shuttle?
A space satellite is an object launched into orbit around Earth or another celestial body for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, or scientific research. A space shuttle, on the other hand, is a type of spacecraft used for carrying astronauts and cargo to and from space, typically for missions to and from a space station or to deploy satellites. The space shuttle is reusable, while satellites are typically not designed to return to Earth.
Why is the moon called a satellite of earth?
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
What is another word for an artificial object moving around the earth?
Satellite
