What is the full form of GSLV?
The full form of GSLV is Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. It is an expendable launch vehicle used by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to launch satellites into geosynchronous transfer 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.
How do you launch a satellite?
Normally satellites are placed on top of rockets and carried into space, then they are released/pushed out of the rocket once it reaches space. It is first pushed out (injected) into an orbit close to earth called a "transfer orbit," meaning an orbit used to move it from the release location to the primary/intended orbit. Sometimes a booster motor is used to move it into the transfer orbit. After the transfer orbit moves it to the correct location another motor changes it's direction/motion into the final/primary orbit. Sometimes a satellite is carried into space by the Space Shuttle, and then released. After that it moves into a transfer orbit that carries it to the final orbit like other satellites.
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 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 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.
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.
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 are the four orbit levels for satellite systems?
LEO (Low-Earth-Orbit)-100 to 1000 miles out • Used for wireless e-mail, special mobile telephones, pagers, spying, videoconferencing MEO (Middle-Earth-Orbit)-1000 to 22,300 miles • Used for GPS (global positioning systems) and government GEO (Geosynchronous-Earth-Orbit)-22,300 miles • Always over the same position on earth (and always over the equator) • Used for weather, television, government operations HEO (Highly Elliptical Earth orbit)-satellite follows an elliptical orbit • Used by the military for spying and by scientific organizations for photographing celestial bodies
