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 parking orbit?
A parking orbit is a temporary orbit of a satellite or space craft. It is used prior to carrying out further procedures.
Why was the PSLV used for launching Chandrayaan-1?
India has two space rockets capable of launching satellites and space probes. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchrounous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). Given the Payload mass of 1,308 kilograms of Chandrayaan-1, the PSLV was adequate to launch the Chandrayaan-1 into Earth orbit prior to commencing it's journey to the Moon. The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) is a newer generation satellite launch vehicle capable of putting into Geostationary Earth orbit much heavier payloads up to 2500 kg.
What is the use of rocket to launch a satellite?
Rockets are used as engines to accelerate the satellite to a speed fast enough to get it in orbit.
What is a polar orbit used for?
From a polar orbit, a satellite can observe over time anypoint on the globe from directly above it.
What types of satellites are used to provide satellite Internet access?
A: Low Earth orbit, B: Medium Earth orbit, & D: Geosynchronous orbit.
What is a launch vehicle?
Satellite launch vehicle redirects here. For the Indian rocket, see Satellite Launch VehicleA Saturn V launch vehicle sends Apollo 15 on its way to the moon.In spaceflight, a launch vehicle or carrier rocketis a rocket used to carry a payload from the Earth's surface into outer space. A launch system includes the launch vehicle, the launch pad and other infrastructure.[1] Usually the payload is an artificial satellite placed into orbit, but some spaceflights are sub-orbital while others enable spacecraft to escape Earth orbit entirely. A launch vehicle which carries its payload on a suborbital trajectory is often called a sounding rocket
What is a good sentence with the word orbit but used as a noun?
The earth's orbit around the sun is not round. The satellite's orbit kept it at a fixed altiitude above earth.
What is the position called at which an artificial satellite is farthest from earth in its orbit?
The generic name (for such a point in the orbit) is apapsis. Specifically for an orbit around Earth, the name "apogee" is also used.
What is meant by a geostationary orbit and what is it used for?
A satellite in a geostationary orbit goes around the earth at the same angular speed that the earth spins on its axis. So to someone on the earth the satellite looks like its not moving because its always at the same location above the earth. These satellites are used for communication purposes. For example, TV stations can reflect their signal off of such a satellite by aiming their transmitter at it. They don't have to change their aim because the satellite is always there. Satellite dish receivers can easily pick up the reflected signal just by aiming the dish antenna at the satellite and again you don't have to change this aim because the satellite is always there. The satellites have to be in a circular orbit above the equator in order for it to be put in a geostationary orbit.
How do artificial satellites get fuel?
Many satellites contain propellant tanks used for repositioning the satellite. They also use solar arrays to collect energy from the sun. When the satellite runs out of fuel it is said to have reached its end of life and will either burn up in the earths atmosphere or will be put in another orbit, such as super synchronous orbit. This allows a replacement satellite to be launched and put in the same orbit but prevents over population of that particular orbit.
Satellite of earth?
A satellite of earth that is not man made is the moon. There are many satellites that are man made that orbit the earth. These satellites are used for communication between Internet and television viewing.
