What is Radarsat?
radarsat is the first Canadian earth observation satellite :)
What is the satellite that always stays over one spot on Earth?
A "geo-synchronous" orbit is one in which a satellite orbits in exactly 23 hours 56 minutes, the same rate at which the Earth spins. So while the satellite is moving and the Earth is moving, they are moving together at the same angular speed. This only works for equatorial orbits.
What are three ways earth is diffrent from the moon?
The Earth is larger than the MoonThe Earth has a satellite (the Moon is that satellite)The Earth has a gaseous atmosphere
What kind of orbit are observation satellites usually placed in?
You mean Earth observation satellites, and the answer is near-Polar low-Earth orbits. This means that as the satellite orbits from above one pole to the other, the Earth turns beneath it, and the satellite passes over the Equator, and every other point on its orbit, at a different place on each successive orbit. In this way, after enough orbits, it can view the whole Earth. Earth observation satellites are placed in low-Earth orbit because (a) they travel faster over the ground at lower altitude and (b) being closer to the ground, their telescopes do not need to be so powerful to achieve a given spatial resolution. Military observation, or spy, satellites, are often placed in a high parking orbit until they are needed, whereupon they are placed into a highly elliptical orbit to allow them to come very close to Earth (and hence see it with great detail) over the region of interest.
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.

What is the first Canadian earth observation satellite called?
It was called Allouette. Launched in 1962 for atmospheric studies.
What are the Satellite in the Philippines?
The Philippines has multiple satellites in orbit for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, and earth observation. Some examples include DIWATA-1 and DIWATA-2, the Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Microsatellite (PHL-Microsat), and Agila-2, a geostationary communications satellite.
Who invented cartosat 2a?
CARTOSAT 2A is an Earth observation satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit. The satellite is the thirteenth satellite in the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite series to be built, launched and maintained by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
How many miles above earth does DigitalGlobe's World View 3 WV3 artificial satellite sit to revolve around earth?
WorldView-3 satellite maintains an altitude of 617 kilometers. Launched on August 13, 2014, it is a commercial Earth observation satellite owned by DigitalGlobe, a private company.
Name India's second satellite launched in 1979?
India's second satellite launched in 1979 was named Bhaskara-I. It was an experimental Earth observation satellite designed for remote sensing applications.
What is a satellite axis?
A satellite axis refers to an imaginary line around which a satellite rotates or orbits. In the context of Earth observation satellites, it can also denote the orientation or alignment of the satellite's instruments relative to Earth. The axis is crucial for determining the satellite's operational parameters, such as its coverage area and the angles at which it collects data. Proper alignment of the satellite axis ensures optimal performance in tasks like imaging and communication.
What happens if a satellite slows down?
If a satellite slows down, it will start to move closer to Earth as gravity becomes more dominant. This can lead to its orbit decaying and potentially reentering the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, a slowdown could affect the satellite's ability to maintain its position for communication or observation purposes.
Which is the last satellite launched by any country in the world?
GPS IIR satellite launched on final SLC-17A Delta II
How space based observation are used to study earth?
base on my observation we use satellite to study space to learn more. when we study the space we can study about meteors,planets,gadgets we are using ton explore,about the sun.
