How old is the hubble space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit aboard NASA's space shuttle Discovery (mission STS-31) on April 24, 1990.The Hubble Space Telescope was originally meant to be launched in 1986, but the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger delayed the launch until April 24th 1990.The Hubble telescope is now seen as one of the most versatile telescopes in space. After it was launched in 1990, astronomers had a chance to change and improve the telescope through missions by astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle.
When did the Soviet Sputnik occur?
Most of the USSR's space endeavours were launched from Baikonur in central Kazkahstan.
Where were the most common tornadoes in the US?
Tornadoes are most common in Texas
What's the most common shot in basketball?
The most common shot in basketball is a layup.
What is the most common first name in Canada?
The most common first name in Canada for a female is Emily. The most common first name in Canada for a male is Alex.
What are the most common space crafts that orbit the earth?
Aspacecraft/Satellite
What is a atificial satellite?
An artificial satellite is a man-made object which is launched into space for the specific purpose of orbiting a planet or celestial body. Most are located in orbit around the Earth but there are many which perform research around other plants.
Which factor would most likely cause communications satellite orbiting earth to return to earth from its orbit?
That will happen if the satellite loses energy. This is usually caused by air resistance, if the satellite's orbit is too low.
What is station keeping of satellite?
Geostationary should resolve in geostationary orbit because its centrimeter and gravitational force in geostationary satellite.A parking slot is provided for satellite.In geostationary satellite is maintain in this orbit in its whole life and maintain satellite in geostationary orbit is called "Station Keeping"In other words, the control routine necessary to keep the satellite in positionis known as "Station Keeping".It use to overlapping of coverage area of individual satellite.
How does a satellite stay in orbit when it still encounters resistance?
Objects in near Earth orbit experience some drag from the from from the atmosphere. (Mind you, it would take a very sensitive instrument to measure atmospheric pressure at 60 miles up.) The answer to the question is that given enough time, the drag will cause the satellite to lose so much momentum that it will crash into Earth. The most famous example of this was Skylab which was launched into orbit in 1973 and burned up in the atmosphere in 1979.
Who did Sputnik 1 orbit first?
Sputnik I? The Russian (Soviet Union) satellite? Well, the Soviet Union had successfully launched this satellite, so the Russians were indeed involved. I am pretty sure that only the Soviet Union was involved (even though Sputnik I was part of the Space Race, the American people did not have anything to do with the satellite).
What was the first satellite to go into orbit what year was it placed into orbit and what is it designed to study?
The first satellite to successfully enter Earth orbit was the so-called "Sputnik-I". Launched on October 4, 1957 from the USSR, it stayed up for about 3 months. It was designed to achieve the greatest possible PR victory just by being there, and didn't study anything ... something like the world's most famous supermodel sent to spend an afternoon walking through the halls of the New York Public Library without stopping.
The point Earth is farthest away from the Moon in its orbit is called what?
The point in the orbit of the moon or of an artificial satellite that is most distant from the center of the earth is called the 'apogee'.
Where was the iss launchened?
The International Space Station was assembled in orbit; it is much too large to have been launched as a single unit. Most of the component modules of the ISS were carried into orbit by one of the space shuttles, which always launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The potential energy of a satellite in an elliptical orbit is?
The total energy of a satellite doesn't change. At its closest approach to the planet, it has the most kinetic energy and the least potential, whereas at its furthest retreat from the planet, it has the least kinetic energy and the most potential. But their sum ... the satellite's total mechanical energy ... is always the same. (It may gain heat energy when the sun is shining directly on it, and lose it when it's in the planet's cold shadow, but neither of those changes affects its orbit.)
What is the most recently launched satellite from India?
cartosat and hamset this two satellites were lunched into space recently by pslv c6
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.)
