Why does a pendulum have infinite time period in an artificial satellite?

That simply means that the pendulum doesn't feel any gravity, which would make it move.


How was the satellite invented?

The idea of an artificial satellite goes back at least as far as the prototype science fiction story "The Brick Moon". The idea that actual, real satellites could perform useful work goes back to about 1947, when science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke realized that satellites orbiting the equator at about 22,000 miles out, would appear not to move in the sky. You could aim an antenna at it and leave it. Thus you could make communications satellites that could transmit a signal from anywhere on Earth to anywhere on Earth, just by having 3 satellites spaced around the Earth. The first actual, real satellite was Sputnik, sent up by the Russians in the late Fifties.


How many orbits did sputnik make?

Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite, completed 1,440 orbits around the Earth during its mission, which lasted from October 4, 1957, to January 4, 1958.


What is the name of the first satellite sent into space what country was it from?

As far as was publicly announced, the first artificial satellite successfully placed into earth orbit ... the first one that stayed up long enough to actually make some orbits around the earth ... was the "Sputnik-I", launched in October of 1957 from the USSR (Russia).


How long does it take to make a satellite?

The time to make a satellite can vary depending on its complexity and purpose, but it typically takes around 1 to 3 years from conception to launch. This timeline includes design, development, testing, and integration of the satellite components before it is ready for deployment into space.
