What else can I help you with?
Why do you expect small satellites to be irregular in shape?
Larger moons have enough mass to gravitationally pull themselves into a spherical shape, and smaller ones do not.
Why do engineers keep the masses of satellites as small as possible?
Engineers keep the masses of satellites as small as possible to reduce the overall cost of sending them into space, as heavier satellites require more fuel and resources for launches. Additionally, smaller satellites are more maneuverable and flexible in their deployment options in space.
Is there any natural satellites of Mercury?
No, it's to small.
Why would the US be concerned with the Soviet Union launching satellites?
Because there could be weapons of mass destruction aboard it + they can use the satellites for surveillance.
A small object in orbit around a planet is a?
Satellite. Satellites can be natural, like the Moon, or artificial like GPS satellites.
What are the natural satellites of Mars?
Phobos and Diemos. Both are very small, as planetary satellites go, and both are suspected of being captured asteroids.
What is an object that the planet orbits?
It can be natural satellites (moons), man-made satellites or small pieces of matter such as ice (rings of the outer planets).
What is an objects that orbit planets?
It can be natural satellites (moons), man-made satellites or small pieces of matter such as ice (rings of the outer planets).
How does the number of satellites of a planet affect the planet's mass?
There's no reason to expect that the number of a planet's satellites ... natural or artificial ... should have any effecton the planet's mass.Wait ... I take that back. If people on earth launch an artificial satellite having mass of 1,000 kilograms,then as long as that satellite remains in orbit, the mass of the earth is reduced by 1,000 kilograms. Butthe loss is reclaimed as soon as the artificial satellite leaves orbit, even if it's incinerated in the atmosphereupon re-entry.A natural satellite has no effect on a planet's mass, so long as it doesn't fall in on the planet.
How many satellites does the Iridium project use?
It uses 66 small satellites in low earth orbit
Why are there some satellites which are too small?
because God created it uniquely/uncommon..
Why are large satellites round and small ones irregular in shape?
The larger satellites have sufficient gravity to pull the matter into a "rounded" shape, whereas smaller ones do not.
