On what type of rocket was Sputnik 1 launched?
Sputnik 1 was launched on a R-7 Semyorka rocket, which was a Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile. It was the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile and the first rocket to successfully launch a satellite into orbit.
How do you launch a satellite into space so it will go to Mars?
To launch a satellite to Mars, you would need to use a rocket to propel it out of Earth's orbit toward Mars. The satellite would need to follow a precise trajectory to intercept Mars's orbit at the right time. This would require careful planning and calculations for the satellite's speed and direction.
Which type of satellite has the largest footprint?
equatorial orbit
How much does it cost to send a satellite in to space from earth to space?
The cost varies depending on the size of the satellite, which determines which launch vehicle (rocket) can be used, the orbit the satellite is to put into (polar, low Earth orbit, geosynchronous, etc.) Costs start at about $50 million which does not include the cost of developing and building the satellite.
What is a gps satellite's orbit type?
A GPS satellite's orbit type is typically a medium Earth orbit (MEO) at an altitude of around 20,000 kilometers. This orbit allows the satellite to provide accurate positioning information to users on the ground while maintaining a good balance between coverage and signal strength.
What type of orbit does a weather satellite have and why?
The polar orbit so that it can measure cold and hot points around the entire earth :)
Which type of satellite is best suited for detailed analysis of a complex weather system?
Polar Orbit
What is an elliptical satellite?
An elliptical satellite is a type of satellite that orbits Earth in an elliptical path, meaning its distance from Earth varies throughout its orbit. This results in the satellite moving closer to and farther from Earth as it completes its orbit. Elliptical satellites are commonly used for applications like communication and remote sensing.
Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?
A satellite orbiting around the Earth's poles is in a polar orbit. This type of orbit allows the satellite to pass over different parts of the Earth as it rotates below. Polar orbits are often used for Earth observation and surveillance satellites.
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.
The type of force that causes a satellite to orbit Earth is a?
Its a centripetal force, whose origin/source is gravitation.
What type of satellite is the international space station?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station and not a satellite. Satellites typically orbit Earth independently, while the ISS serves as a habitable artificial satellite where astronauts live and conduct research in low Earth orbit.
