When it is closest to the planet.
One of the components of the acceleration, the normal acceleration, is equal to v2/r, where v is the satellite's speed and r is the radius of the current orbit followed by the satellite. So, the smaller the radius, the higher the acceleration.

What is satellite longitude in satellite communication?
satellite is satellite
A satellite is projectile that falls ot of earth rather than into earth?
Satellites are in constant free-fall. This simply means they are constantly being accelerated by earth's gravity. However, an orbiting satellite's lateral motion is sufficient that the acceleration caused by the earth's gravity causes it to continually circle the earth, instead of crashing to the ground.
Different types of satellite?
Answer: 1.communication satellite 2.navigational satellite 3.weather satellite 4.millitary satellite 5.scientific satellite 6.satellite launches. It composed of 6 satellites...........i hope.....my answer can help you.....
First Indian satellite in geostationary satellite was?
Aryabhatta
How does a communications satellite work?
A communications satellite (sometimes abbreviated to COMSAT) is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the purpose of telecommunications.For more info on this, look at the website below.
Where the acceleration of a satellite directed?
The acceleration of a satellite is directed inward, towards the center of the orbit.
For simple harmonic oscillator where is the greatest acceleration?
The acceleration is greatest at the top and bottom of the motion.
What is the definition of central acceleration?
Central acceleration is the acceleration placed on the center of a satellite that holds it in elliptical orbit. Central acceleration is more commonly known as centripetal acceleration.
Does satellite has acceleration due to gravity or not?
yes, this ADG helps the satellite to orbit earth. This is the centripital force
What is an example of Circular acceleration?
a satellite in orbit; it is moving at constant speed but is accelerating outward in circular acceleration, balanced by gravity acceleration (centripetal force).
Draw a diagram showing the motion of a satellite around Earth is the satellite accelerating?
WikiAnswers cannot support diagrams - sorry. A satellite around the Earth will have an elliptical or (in some cases) a circular orbit. The satellite is constantly accelerating towards the Earth due to the gravity between the Earth and the satellite. However, because of the satellite's tangential velocity, it stays at a relatively constant distance from the Earth.
Which satellite of Uranus has the greatest variety of landforms of any satellite yet examined?
Miranda
When is an airplane acceleration greatest?
when it is taking off
Where is acceleration greatest in circular motion?
If an object moves in a circle at a constant speed, the magnitude of the acceleration won't change.
Is satellite around earth is accerlated?
Yes accelerated. Radial acceleration has to be so as to change the direction aspect of the velocity vector. Otherwise the satellite cannot go around the earth.
In simple harmonic motion the magnitude of the acceleration is greatest when the?
displacement is maximum
Is the satellite accelerating?
Yes, the satellite is accelerating because it is revolving around our earth and in a circular motion so its velocity changes every second so it is accelerating.A2. No, the satellite is not accelerating. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. But, its velocity is constant. The centrifugal effect is exactly balanced by the pull of gravity (assuming a circular orbit).But a nice question. The net acceleration between these forces is zero.
