Explorer 1 was the first American satellite launched into orbit.
Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours. As objects (satellites) get farther, they would take longer for an orbit.Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours.

Satellites cannot orbit one country. They may remain in geostationary orbit, but only at the equator. Therefore no satellite stays above only New Zealand.
no one knows
the communication satellites take 24 hours to complete their one revolution around the earthso the orbit of revolving satellite is called geostationary orbit.
GPS satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of about 20,000 km in medium Earth orbit (MEO). They move in precise paths to ensure global coverage and are spaced evenly to provide accurate positioning data. The satellites follow elliptical orbits that repeat every 12 hours.
The word Moon is a name given to the natural satellite in orbit around the Earth. We attribute this name to most objects large enough to see in orbit around other planets. In this way Moons and Natural Satellites are one in the same. Artifical Satellites are what we put into orbit around the earth IE GPS Satellites, but are man made.
These are called satellites. A lot of planets have natural satellites called moons, which are in orbit around the planet. An artificial satellite is one that is put there by man, it orbits the planet in a similar way.
Earth. Earth has one natural satellite, the moon, which is in orbit around the earth. There are around 3000 man made satellites currently in orbit. Jupiter has the most natural satellites (moons), over 60 have been confirmed. It has no man made satellites in orbit around it, but did have one between 1995 and 2003, an orbiter called Galileo.
Only one probe has been in orbit and that was "Cassini". Other spacecraft have flown past Saturn and observed it. They were: Pioneer 11, and Voyagers 1 and 2. Satellites are in permanent orbit around a primary.

An isochronous satellite is one that orbits the earth in one day. So it orbits the earth as the same speed as the earth rotates. Most satellites that are isochronous are infact geostationary satellites as they also stay in the same position above the earth. However these satellites occupy a very specific orbit above the equator. It is possible to have isochronous satellites that aren't geostationary however getting them to remain in orbit would prove difficult.
Its closer to the earth. Can say much more without know the velocity of the satellites
