What is propogation delay in satellite?
A propagation delay is the amount of time it takes radio waves to travel from the surface of the Earth to the satellite and then back down to the Earth. The calculation of the delay is based upon the altitude and position of the satellite systems.
What Keeps a Satellite In Space?
Once a satellite is launched into orbit, the force of gravity tends to pull it toward the Earth. But by moving fast enough, it falls in a curved path and circles the Earth. So orbit is something like a controlled fall. If a satellite does not move fast enough, it will eventually spiral closer to the Earth and burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. The same balance of gravity and speed keeps the moon and the International Space Station in orbit.

What does a satellite travel path look like around the earth i have seen them as a wavy looking line not straight why is this?
an ellipse. the sinewave path on flat maps is because most satellite orbits are inclined/tilted with respect to the earth's axis. so the satellite moves north/south as well as around the earth.
Did the USSR launch the first space satellite?
* Artificial Earth satellite Sputnik 1The first successful satellite launched by the Russians (The Soviet Union at the time) was Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957. It was released during the Cold War and it caused a space race between the Americans and the Soviet Union. Apart from being the first satellite to be launched into space, it also helped us to better understand the upper atmosphere, including the radiation belts and the ionosphere. It traveled 18000 miles per hour so it only took about 92 minutes to travel around the Earth.* Russian satellite countriesCountries of Eastern Europe adopted Communist governments following World War II and were called "satellite" countries of the USSR, which was dominated by Russia. They were collectively known as the Warsaw Pact countries for the military treaty to which they were signatories. The first country was Poland, partly occupied by the USSR in a 1939 arrangement with Nazi Germany.
If an object left Earth which direction would it travel due to inertia and Earth's rotation?
It would depend on the objects location, time, and the gravitational pull on the object.
Do roller coasters have motors?
No, they travel with gravity after their travel up a lift hill or after a launch.
Why does a space shuttle have to travel so fast?
Space shuttles must travel at 11km/s so that they can escape the force of gravity. the force of gravity is approximately 9.81. If you don't travel at a greater speed than the force of gravity, the rocket will not launch.
What is the affect of weight on distance paper rockets travel?
it is the gravity affects the weight
Why does a satellite travel at a greater speed when it is closest to earth?
The gravity is greater the nearer to Earth you go. The same is true for all planets.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball what would happen to the ball?
travel horizontally
In an atom the electrons travel around the nucleus somewhat like a satellite orbits the earth The force that keeps the electrons in orbit is the?
Repelling Force of Gravity
If a satellite is travelling in orbit around the earth and the gravitational force drops to nil what will happen to the satellite?
Without gravity, the satellite will travel in the same direction it was going when gravity went to nil. This is due to the object's momentum, and the satellite will go off into space. And if the gravitation were nil to begin with, there would have been no orbit in the first place. The question is problematic, since planets will always have gravity. Picture a ball on a string that is being whirled around by someone. If the string snaps, the ball continues to move in the direction it was going at the moment the string snapped. It flies off in a tangent, and the satellite will do the same thing if gravity is suddenly reduced to zero.
How reliable is satellite internet for travel in remote locations?
Satellite internet can be reliable for travel in remote locations, as it does not rely on traditional infrastructure like cables or cell towers. However, factors such as weather conditions and line of sight obstructions can affect its performance. It is important to research and choose a reputable satellite internet provider for the best experience.
What rockets make it possible to travel into space?
Rockets such as the Saturn V, Falcon 9, and Space Launch System (SLS) have been used to successfully launch spacecraft and travel into space. These rockets generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and propel spacecraft beyond our planet's atmosphere into space.
How does gravity affect space exploration?
Gravity affects space exploration in several ways. It influences the trajectory of spacecraft, the orbits of planets and other celestial bodies, and the energy needed to launch and navigate spacecraft. Understanding and accounting for gravity is essential for planning missions, calculating fuel requirements, and ensuring successful exploration of outer space.
How fast would the rocket launching that satellite have to travel relative to the launch site if you launched it from a point on the equator?
The rocket launching the satellite from the equator would need to travel at the speed of approximately 1670 km/h due to the Earth's rotational velocity. This speed is necessary to counteract the rotation of the Earth and achieve orbit around the planet.
Why must satellites in Leo travel very fast?
Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) must travel fast to continue orbiting the Earth without falling back down due to gravity. The high speed helps to balance the force of gravity to keep the satellite in orbit. Additionally, the fast speed allows the satellite to complete its orbit around the Earth in a relatively short amount of time.
