Yes, satellites can detect incoming missiles and aircraft through various technologies, including radar and infrared sensors. Early warning satellites are specifically designed to monitor missile launches and track their trajectories. However, the effectiveness of detection depends on factors like satellite coverage, the speed of the objects, and the technology used. While satellites provide valuable surveillance capabilities, they are part of a broader defense system that includes ground-based radar and other detection methods.
What else can I help you with?
In 1962 the world learned that had been spotted in Cuba.?
In 1962, the world learned that there was a build up of medium range missiles and missile bases in Cuba. U2 spy planes actually photographed the missiles and the bases.
Can satellites and airplanes fly in the mesosphere?
No, there is too much atmospheric drag at these heights for a satellite to maintain an orbit, but it is too high for airplanes which have 'air breathing' engines. Some high altitude planes such as the SR-71 Blackbird and U2 can fly up to 25km, but not as high as 50km which is the lower boundary for the Mesosphere. Some experimental rocket planes such as the X-15 have been able reach these heights.
What is the different types of natural satellite?
There is different types of artificial satellites, each for different uses. For example : Weather satellites help meteorologists predict the weather or see what's happening at the moment. Typical weather satellites include the TIROS, COSMOS and GOES satellites. The satellites generally contain cameras that can return photos of Earth's weather, either from fixed geostationary positions or from polar orbits. Communications satellites allow telephone and data conversations to be relayed through the satellite. Typical communications satellitesinclude Telstar and Intelsat. The most important feature of a communications satellite is the transponder - a radio thatreceives a conversation at one frequency and then amplifies it and retransmits it back to Earth on anotherfrequency. A satellite normally contains hundreds or thousands of transponders. Communications satellites are usually geosynchronous. Broadcast satellites broadcast television signals from one point to another. • Scientific satellites perform a variety ofscientific missions. The Hubble Space Telescope is themost famous scientific satellite, but there are many others looking at everything from sun spots to gammarays. ( See the article of the telescopes) -> Hiten scientific satellite • Navigational satellites help ships and planes navigate. The most famous are the GPS NAVSTAR satellites, r escue satellites respond to radio distress signals. -> NAVSTAR satellite • Earth observation satellites observe the planet for changes in everything from temperature toforestation to ice-sheet coverage. -> ENVISAT • Military satellites are up there, but much of the actual application information remains secret. Intelligence-gathering possibilities using high-tech electronic and sophisticated photographic-equipment reconnaissance are endless. Applications may include relaying encrypted communication, nuclear monitoring, observing enemy movements, early warning of missile launches, eavesdropping on terrestrial radio links, radar imaging, photography (using what are essentially large telescopes (see the article on the telescopes ) that take pictures of militarily interesting areas)
Why do planes fly high?
Planes fly at high altitudes because the thinner air reduces air resistance, allowing the aircraft to fly more efficiently. Flying at high altitudes also provides smoother air currents, less turbulence, and shorter flight times due to the ability to take advantage of jet streams. Additionally, being at a higher altitude allows planes to avoid obstacles on the ground and have more flexibility in choosing their flight path.
Why do planes fly at very high altitudes?
Planes fly at high altitudes to benefit from thinner air, which reduces air resistance and drag. This allows planes to fly more efficiently, saving fuel and increasing speed. High altitudes also provide more stable air currents, resulting in a smoother ride for passengers.
Can missiles shoot down planes if having trouble detecting?
No. Missiles gotta be able to detect planes in the radar in order get a lock on because missiles need to get a lock on to shoot down planes but planes fly in really high altitudes, this makes it even more difficult to detect planes on radar.
What planes and missiles did Adolf Hitler use?
A missile Hitler issued was the V-1 and V-2 missiles which was there strongest missiles but failed because they were hard to control, did not have good accuracy and had not much fuel.
The satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost what to its orbit?
The satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost perpendicular to its orbit.
Can planes get shot down by missiles?
Yes but not really easy.
How are missiles launched from fighter planes?
All current missiles are electrically triggered in a sequence to 'spool up' as they release from the aircraft.
Can satellites detect stealth planes?
Yes satellites have the ability to detect stealth planes. Stealth technology was likely invented in Germany during World War II.
Where does the f22 raptor store its armament?
In an internal weapons bay, stored in the aircraft. It opens to fire the missiles, it does this because if it had the missiles on the wings, it is likely that these would reflect radar beams back to the enemy planes, therefore compromising stealth
In 1962 the world learned that had been spotted in Cuba.?
In 1962, the world learned that there was a build up of medium range missiles and missile bases in Cuba. U2 spy planes actually photographed the missiles and the bases.
How did the US discover the missiles?
If you are asking about the missiles in Cuba they were discovered by the use of spy planes and people on the ground. A spy plane flew over and shot pictures of the silos for the missiles. The people on the ground confirmed that they were there. Kennedy told Russia that they had to remove the missiles and the result was the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Do World War 2 planes have missiles?
World War II planes did not have missiles as we understand them today; instead, they primarily relied on machine guns, cannons, and bombs for aerial combat. The technology for guided missiles was in its infancy during the war, with some experimental systems beginning to emerge towards the war's end. However, the widespread use of missiles on aircraft came much later, primarily during the Cold War era.
What was the second generation of fighter plane?
The second generation of fighter planes were jet fighters with no missiles or complicated avionics.
Can missiles take down an aircraft?
Actually yes but the problem is that planes can't get shot down so easily.
