What is an example of a artificial satellite?
Currently there are only two planets with satellites orbiting them, Mars (a few of them) and Saturn (Cassini). All the planets excluding Uranus and Neptune have had satellites orbiting them at some point. We do also have two satellites orbiting minor objects and they are orbiting Comet 67-P (Rosetta) and the dwarf planet Ceres (Dawn).
What is the minimum number of artificial satellites required for communication through the globe is?
3 GEO Satellites located at 120 degrees are required to cover whole of the earth.
Who discovered artificial satellite?
The Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth, so the person who discovered it was probably Ugghhh, the First Caveman. Artificial satellites weren't developed until the 1950's, and so the "discoverer" was one of the Soviet engineers who launched the first Sputnik, the first artificial satellite of the Earth. Other planets have their own satellites. Galileo is credited as discovering the four largest satellites of Jupiter in January, 1610, when he pointed his new telescope at Jupiter.
What are two names of different satellites?
Anything in orbit could be considered a satellite. There is one natural satellite - the moon. There are hundreds of navigation, communications, weather, science/experimental and military/intelligence satellites in orbit. There are thousands of bits of "space junk" orbiting the earth at present.
What is artifical satellite?
Artificial satellites are human-made, orbital objects sent into space. (There are several thousand of these in orbit around Earth.) Our moon is the only natural satellite that Earth has.Related Information:Since 1957, the term has been applied to objects that orbit the Earth. Now a number of objects have been put into orbit around various planets, moons and even our Sun.NASA currently has a plan to move a small asteroid to a near Earth position in stable orbit. This action has the potential to create an orbiting object that is not man made. It has not yet been established whether this will be termed an artificial, natural, or other type of satellite.There are satellites beaming down television to us, providing pictures for Google earth, positioning for the GPS system, etc.The Space Shuttle Discovery docked with the International Space Station. Both of those assemblies are man-made, and both are in orbit around the earth. When the shuttle returned to earth, you heard about it on TV news. If you get your TV through a little dish on top of your garage, then you received it from another man-made satellite.An artificial satellite is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavor. They are called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites like the Moon. Examples of artificial satellites are Communications Satellites and Monitering Satellites.
Images from space probes and artificial satellites show that earth is a?
Sphere shaped
What are the artificial satellites of the Earth?
All the satellites, communications, exploratory, military etc. are artificial satellites of Earth.
How many artificial satellites circle the earth?
over a thousand artificial satellites. the first artificial satellite was sputnik. the only natural satellite earth has is the moon
Does the Earth have more natural or more artificial satellites?
Earth has one natural satellite and more than a thousand artificial satellites.
What are natural and artificial satellites?
Natural satellites are organic objects that orbit the earth such as the moon. Artificial satellites are objects humans propel through the earth's atmosphere in order to orbit the earth such as satellites for TV and radio signals.
Can artificial satellites prove that the Earth is a sphere?
Yes, artificial satellites can provide evidence that the Earth is a sphere. Satellites orbiting the Earth take images showing its curved surface, and measurements of the Earth's shape can be made based on satellite data. Additionally, the way satellites maintain their orbits around the Earth is consistent with the Earth's spherical shape.
What are bodies that orbit moons or planets called?
Satellites. They can be natural (a moon) or artificial (space probes). Earth is a satellite of the Sun, the Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is a satellite of the Moon.
What are the 5 types of artificial satellites?
The five major types of artificial satellites are: research, communications, weather, navigational, and applications. Please see the related links.
What was the first artificial satellites orbit earth?
Sputnik-I
What are examples of artificial satellites and natural satellites?
Artificial- Global positioning satalites for GPS devices, Intelligence/Reconn. Satalites used by Governments, Google Earth's images were taken by Satalite Natural- The moon, cosmic debris, Saturn's rings
What are the different artificial satellites launched into orbit?
The different artificial satellites launched are Low Earth Orbiting Satellites for Remote sensing, Medium Earth Orbiting Satellites like GPS , Geo Stationary Orbiting Satellites for Communication and Molnia Satellites again for Communication. These are the different artificial Satellite orbiting the Planet Earth.
What is the order of these words telescope satellites space shuttles and space probes?
Distance from Earth.
