What is repitivity and revisit of satellite orbit?

The repetitivity and revisit of satellite orbit refers to the time elapsed between observations of the same point on earth by a satellite. It usually depends with the target location, the orbit of the satellite and the swath of the sensor.


What type of satellite is geostationary operational environment satellite how does it work?

a weather satellite and it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction that Earth revolves so it is always fixed over the same location.


Why was satellite aryabhatta launched in space?

Aryabhata was India's first satellite, named after the great Indian astronomer of the same name. It was launched by the Soviet Union on 19 April 1975 from Kapustin Yar using a Cosmos-3M launch vehicle. Aryabhata was built by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to conduct experiments related to astronomy. The satellite reentered the Earth's atmosphere on 11 February 1992.


How did NASA find out that their was water on the moon?

On June 18th of 2009, NASA sent a probe in space called LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation Sensing Satellite) to crash into the south region of the moon near the Cabeus crater. On the 9th of October of that same year, the space craft crashed into its target with dead aim precision. the LRO or Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, another probe sent at the same time as LCROSS took spectrometry data from the cloud of debris that was ejected from the surface of the moon seconds after LCROSS impacted the Earths natural satellite. Spectrometers look at gases and by looking at the rate of absorption of light, scientist can determine was molecules are in the substance being observed, since each molecule has its very own unique spectrum lines (the colors of the rainbow). for example if looking at mercury gas we would see blue green and orange lines of color where as in hydrogen gas we would see violet blue aqua and red. The data from the spectrometers show very clearly that the spectrum for water in present.


What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?

it's hot. ;)

Is a satellite a space probe?

No, a satellite is not the same as a space probe. A satellite is an object placed into orbit around a celestial body, like a planet, whereas a space probe is a spacecraft designed to conduct scientific investigations in space. However, some satellites carry scientific instruments to conduct research, blurring the lines between the two.


Are space probes the same thing as satilight?

No they aren't the same. A satellite is on a defined orbit and a probe is something sent to discover planets or other space objects.


How cold is a space probe to the sun?

If the space probe is approaching the sun and is always facing the sun, then the probe sun-ward side should be very warm; but overall the probe will be at the same or close to it's internal temperature (unless it doesn't have insulation; in which case it will be about 3 degrees Kelvin - which is the actual temperature of space.)


Is a probe and a satellite the same thing?

Yes, they are, but a probe can also be an asteroid or something like that as well.No. A satellite orbits an object. The moon is our natural satellite.A probe has a function, generally to land on the surface of an object and take samples (probe it).


What in space exploration in the year 1974?

In the year 1974 NASA's Mariner 10 space probe flew by the planet Venus. Later in the year the same probe flew by the planet Mercury, the first flyby of the planet in human history.


If a space probe is in interstellar space how does it move?

The same way it moves everywhere else - by ejecting matter on one end, which pushes it in the opposite direction.


What is satellite orbital spacing?

Satellite orbital spacing refers to the distance between different satellites in orbit around the Earth. This spacing is carefully planned to prevent collisions and to optimize coverage, communication, and other functions of the satellite network. Satellite operators coordinate with each other and regulatory bodies to ensure safe and efficient use of orbital space.


Is the space station moving or stationary?

Its moving. Quickly. It is in orbit around the earth, the same as any satellite.


Difference between satellite radio and regular radio?

One of the main differences between satellite radio and FM radio is that there is a cost for satellite and FM is free. Satellite radio also does not operate using the same numerical AM and FM channels as FM radio.


What is satellite write the difference between natural satellite and artificial satellite?

The difference is the same as in other contexts.* "Artificial" means that something was created by humans. * "Natural" means that it was NOT created by humans.

Is space and the moon the same?

uh......no offense but are you an idiot? NO!!!!The moon is a mass that orbits our earth. Other planets have moons too, not just ours. And it depends what you mean by space. Does your mind comprehend space like a kindergardener?There is space between every thing, including atoms. They are not the same! The moon is a mass and space is basically the absence of it.
