because it is place to launch
The only artificial satellite launch to take place in 1975 was in India. This satellite was called Aryabhata. Sputnik was the very first artificial satellite to be released, it took place on October 3, 1957.
I haven't get the correct names of the satellites that Indian Government is going to launch but i know they go to launch satellites regarding "GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM". The Government is going to launch around 7 satellites by 2010. The Indian Government wants to develope its own GPS. Now the GPS is under the control of U.S.Government,it has around 20 satellites of its own. The Russian Government has around 24 satellites.
Generally space shuttles are not used to launch satellites as it is very costly to launch a space shuttle. Rockets with automated systems place satellites in orbit as opposed to a manned shuttle.
The first successful launch of an artificial satellite took place in October of 1957. There were none in space until then, and exactly one for the remainder of that year. So it's a pretty safe bet that there are more now.

A moon, as opposed to artificial satellites that we manufacture and place in orbit, like the DirecTV satellite.
To launch a rocket, you will need a launch pad, rocket fuel, guidance system, payload (such as satellites or scientific instruments), and appropriate safety measures in place. Additionally, you'll need a countdown sequence, a control center, and the necessary regulatory approvals for the launch.
Sky TV is available via the Astra 2 satellites at 28.2 degrees east. http://www.ses-astra.com/consumer/uk/how-to-receive-astra/index.php Sky don't launch rockets for the satellites to get into space. Astra buy space on rockets to place their satellites into orbit. Usually these are on Ariane (European space agency) or via a Proton rocket.
He predicate about the artificial satellites 300 years ago in his book "principia Mathematica" According to this book, if an object is thrown horizontally with a particular speed from a place which is sufficiently high, it will start revolving around the Earth.
"Satellite phones are so expensive because of the infrastructure in place to support the placement of calls on them. As the name implies, the phone uses a vast network of geosynchronous satellites to transmit calls, and it is very expensive to launch and maintain those satellites."
Space technology has allowed the nation of India to move into the world of high technology, a place previously occupied only by more-developed nations. India has been up there since July 18, 1980, when it became the eighth to demonstrate it could send a satellite to orbit above Earth. India launched the satellite Rohini 1 on an Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) rocket from the Sriharikota Island launch site. Indian cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma spent eight days in 1984 aboard the USSR's space station Salyut 7. In recent years, India has concentrated much of its space development work on complex applications satellites and more powerful rockets. The nation's two main interests are satellites for remote sensing and communications -- used for weather pictures, disaster warnings and feeds to 552 television and 164 radio stations on the ground.
