The altitude of (manmade) satelites assures minimal signal interference when sending/recieving transmission.
It also gives the device a "birds eye view", necessary for optimal data collection and transmission.
note: a satelite can be defined as anything with an orbit around another mass.

What is the least known fact about the earth?
How fast a person is moving, while standing still, on the surface of the Earth.
Which earth material covering earths surface of a ladfill would permit the least rainwater to infiltrate the surface?
Clay
What is a layer of changed particles above earth?
The Ionosphere is one layer of charged particles above the Earth, and is important for High Frequency radio communication. There are several layers in the ionosphere, and since they weren't certain that the first one identified was not guaranteed to be the lowest, it was given the name of 'the e-layer'. Above it are some f-layers, and below it a d-layer. Some of these are at least in part controlled by the UV from the Sun.
What is the number of satillites on Saturn?
Venus is unique in that it and Mercury are the only planets in the solar system with no natural satellites. Currently the European Space Agency (ESA) has a satellite named Venus Express orbiting the planet.
How far do icebergs go down under water?
Remembering that only about a tenth of any iceberg is above the water, Titanic's berg was about 96 feet above sea level.
What is the status of satellite technology in Africa?
satellites by their very nature are traveling above the earth in high orbit, don't think you will find them on the ground in Africa, at least not working ones.
How many gps satellites are required to pinpoint your location on earth surface?
At least four GPS satellites are required to pinpoint a location on Earth's surface accurately using trilateration. Three satellites are needed to determine a two-dimensional position (latitude and longitude), while the fourth satellite provides the altitude component.
How many satellites do you need to have a full GPS signal?
A minimum of 4 satellites is needed to obtain a full GPS signal. These satellites are used to triangulate your position accurately on Earth.
How many GPS satellites are required to triangulate a plan-form position?
You would need at least three GPS satellites to pinpoint your location. However, you would need a fourth to also identify your elevation.
How far is satellites from earth?
satellite should be at least 42000Kms from center of earth .As the radius of earth is around 6370Kms ,the height reduces to 35000Kms.
At least how many satellites are needed to calculate the position?
It takes at least 3 satellites.
Which planet has fewer satellites?
In our Solar System, Planet Mercury and Planet Venus have no (0) satellites at all. No satellites orbit them. But if you are talking about planets with satellites and with the fewest moons, it is the Earth. Earth has only one natural satellite, THE MOON.
Where does the sun hit Earth's surface the least?
It hita least at the north Pole
What is the minimum number of 'global positioning system' satellites that are observable by a user anywhere on earth?
A user can typically observe at least 4 GPS satellites anywhere on Earth to accurately calculate their position using trilateration.
Do hydro lines affect the GPS signal?
probably not, as the Global Positioning System uses data from several satellites to calculate the receivers position. At any given time, there are usually at least 4 GPS satellites above the horizon from anywhere on Earth. Only interference on the GPS frequency can impair the accuracy.
What is an important information-gathering satellite now in orbit around earth called?
There are a great number of satellites currently orbiting the Earth, and they are ALL important; at least, important enough to SOMEBODY to spend millions of dollars to launch each one.Depending on your interests, the "most important" satellites are probably the weather forecasting satellites, followed by the communications and GPS satellites.
What percent of the moon surface is not visible from the earth?
47% at least.
