Satellites operate through the use of gravity because the force of gravity on the satellite results in circular motion around the earth or any other celestial body, and if that force was too big it would cause the satellite to come crashing down and if it were too small the satellite would just go flying off into space

How is gravity measured in space?

In space, gravity is measured using instruments like accelerometers and gravimeters, which detect tiny changes in gravitational acceleration. These devices can sense the pull of gravity on a spacecraft or satellite as it orbits a celestial body. Additionally, satellite missions like NASA's GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) use pairs of satellites to measure variations in Earth's gravity field by monitoring changes in their distance as they pass over different gravitational anomalies. This data helps scientists understand the distribution of mass within planets and other celestial bodies.

Do you use matter to measure the force of gravity?

You can use matter or light to measure the force of gravity, because gravity distorts the shape of space around the gravitational body thus distorting the path that matter or light travels through that space.


What are some hardware used in video distribution?

Hardware used in video distribution varies heavily on the medium through which the video is distributed. Satellite video distribution requires the use of satellite platforms, as well as receiving dishes capable of processing the satellite signal.


How do you give velocity for the satellite which rotates in the orbit with what energy it will travel?

You give velocity to a satellite through rockets. The rockets use some powerful fuel - for example, a mix of hydrogen and oxygen - to push them into orbit.

What is the force that causes the earth to orbit the sun?

GRAVITY!A2. Centripetal force. The velocity of the satellite around the earth causes centripetal, force which balances with the gravity, holding it in a circular orbit around the earth.


What do scientists use to launch satellite into space?

Rockets primarily are used to launch satellites into space. Alternatively, the space shuttle is used for very large satellites, but that option will no longer be available when the fleet is retired at the end of 2010.
