Satellites orbit celestial bodies because the force of gravity (always attractive) is balanced with the satellites forward momentum. Think of it as constantly falling over the edge of the Earth. In other words, if you could hit a Golf ball far and fast enough, it would fall over the edge of Earth and keep going. If you remove gravity, it would shoot off into space in a straight line. If you remove forward momentum, it will fall to the ground. (see link) == ==

What are the name of satellites of planet Mercury?
There are no known satellites of Mercury.
Where are GPS satellite signals processed?
GPS signals are processed in the GPS unit and displayed, and they are also processed via three Global Position Satellites. All four units work together and process GPS signals (some to the satellites from the GPS, and some from the satellites to the GPS) to create an accurate position.
How do satellites triangulate?
Triangulation of satellites requires three satellites that bank of one another simultaneously.
Are moons satellites?
Yes but they are called natural satellites
Are there satellites on the moon?
CORRECT ANSWER:No.
How does satellites work?
they work by the people on earth they use a control button to keep the satellites working
How do artificial satellites work in the Philippines?
In the Philippines, artificial satellites work as transmitters. These transmit cellular phone communications, Internet, weather observation, television channels' signals, and navigation.
What kind of help do satellites give car drivers and airplane pilots?
Navigation. The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides location and time information for anywhere on the Earth via a series of satellites in geostationary orbits. The time it takes for the driver/pilot to send a signal to the satellites and receive it back again can be used to work out how far away you are from the satellites, which is used to work out where you are.
How does a GPS (Global Positioning System) work?
A GPS works by satellites that are located in outer space. These satellites are connected with cameras that show the whole earth. You GPS and the satellites systems are working together to provide maps for you.
What are manned satellites?
Manned satellites are spacecraft that are designed to carry astronauts into space and support human presence in orbit. They can be used for activities such as scientific research, space exploration, and servicing of other satellites. Manned satellites provide a platform for humans to live and work in space for extended periods of time.
How do television satellites work?
there are satellite transmitters in space that send singnals to earth
What type of work are done on deploying satellites?
put dynamite in space XD

this is a good question.scientists and astronomers should work on this.
Why do private companies and the government work together to launch satellites?
They are all posh
What is a group of satellites called?
A group of satellites is commonly referred to as a "constellation." These satellites work together to provide various services such as communication, navigation, and Earth observation. Examples of well-known satellite constellations include the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Starlink constellation.
How many minimum satellites are required for a Gis device to work?
a GPS device will need at least 3 satellite locks to work.
