I know Saturn has two moons in more or less the same orbit. I'm not sure about three moons though.
Saturn has at least two natural satellites (moons) sharing the same orbit. There may be three altogether, but I only know of two.
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
Mars' moons are Phobos and Deimos. No other known natural objects are orbiting Mars. But humans have sent three satellites into orbit around Mars. Mars Express (ESA), 2001: Mars Odyssey (NASA) and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (NASA).

Over 60 countries have launched satellites. Of these, the three largest contributors to the number of satellites currently in orbit as of 2013 are Russia at 1457, the United States at 1110, and China at 140.
There's no reason to expect that the number of a planet's satellites ... natural or artificial ... should have any effecton the planet's mass.Wait ... I take that back. If people on earth launch an artificial satellite having mass of 1,000 kilograms,then as long as that satellite remains in orbit, the mass of the earth is reduced by 1,000 kilograms. Butthe loss is reclaimed as soon as the artificial satellite leaves orbit, even if it's incinerated in the atmosphereupon re-entry.A natural satellite has no effect on a planet's mass, so long as it doesn't fall in on the planet.
The planet Earth upon which we live has precisely one natural satellite, which is known as the moon, or Luna, and it has a great many artificial satellites, including the International Space Station, communication satellites, surveillance satellites, global positioning satellites, etc.
yes.kiri lutes Saturn has had three robot probes fly by in the past: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2. The Cassini-Huygens probe is currently in orbit around Saturn. The planet also has 62 known natural satellites big enough to be considered moons and many other objects orbiting it, including the materials that make up its famous rings.

The term BGAN means Broadband Global Area Network. It is made up of three satellites which is owned by Inmarsat. You can connect with the satellites using any of the BGAN terminals because the satellites are in stationary orbit around the earth.
Three rules for consideration for planets are: 1) The planet must orbit a star. 2) The planet must have enough mass to have a nearly round shape. 3) The planet must have cleared its orbit of other debris.
Ganymede is a moon of Jupiter. It is the largest of the four Galilean satellites first observed and noted by Galileo. The other three are Io, Europa, and Callisto.Ganymede is not a planet.
