An orbit, for the most part, does not require any work to maintain. A satellite
orbiting earth is essentially in freefall and is continuously pull toward Earth.
However, it is moving "sideways" so fast that it continously misses. Some fuel is
needed to make occasional adjustments to the orbit, but not to maintain the
orbit overall.
Notice that the moon doesn't need any fuel to stay in orbit round the Earth,
just as the Earth doesn't need any rocket engines or rubber bands to stay
in orbit around the sun.
They are circling the earth outside the atmosphere. There is no air friction in outer space, so they are not slowed down by anything. Satellites get their velocity needed to stay on their intended orbit when they are launched, and without friction, they have no need for fuel to keep it.
Satellites do, however, need some kind of energy supply (be it solar panels or nuclear batteries) to power their electronics.
When an artificial satellite is going around the earth, the force it is subjected to is mg where m is the mass of the satellite. This force is towards the center of the Earth. At every point in the orbit, the displacement of the satellite is exactly perpedicular to this direction of the force. If we remember that the work done is ForceXdisplacement(in the direction of the force), then this product is Zero because the force is perpendicular to the displacement all the time. So there is no work done on the satellite and it will continue to revolve. If the orbit is with in the atmosphere then the air drag will reduce the velocity of the satellite and it will gradually lose height and fall down and mostly get burnt in the dense lower atmosphere.
Incidentally, this holds good even for the natural satellites like the planets or the moon.

i dont know. why dont you find it out you're self :)
The supply of fossil fuels on earth such as petroleum are being used up. These things are need to make fuel that run cars and other vehicles.

We dont know sorry love from your secret admirer x
Satellites need to be self contained for their energy supply. There are a limited number of options. These are * Battery power * Fuel Cells * Solar Power * Nuclear Power
No. The US helped with intelligence info from satellites and air to air missiles.
The most likely cause is the continuous supply of fuel to the cylinders owing to the supply pump, which is electrical, not switching off.
Every satellite is different, the biggest factor that limits the life of satellites is fuel used to maintain the orbit.
Large rockets, computer control, compact fuel.
Rate of fuel supply, pressure of fuel supply, turbulence,etc
Satellites do not need fuel to keep moving because of their inertia and the centripetal force.
A: Disconnect the wires that supply electricity to the fuel supply solenoid valve
In a(n) ____________________ fuel oil supply system, one pipe is the supply and the other acts as the return.
A bad fuel pump will hinder the fuel supply to the engine. The engine can run rough with an inconsistent supply of fuel, or it will completely shut off.
Your new fuel pump is apparently defective. A fuel pump is required to supply fuel to the engine, and the engine cannot run (and of course not start) without a supply of fuel.
