It doesn't fly, it moves in free fall. And it doesn't use wings.

Why does a satellite not fly off into space from the earth's atmosphere?

A satellite stays in orbit due to a balance between its forward motion and the gravitational pull of the Earth. The velocity of the satellite allows it to continuously fall towards the Earth but also keeps missing it, causing it to remain in orbit. If there were no gravitational pull, the satellite would fly off into space.


One major difference between an artificial satellite and a space probe is that the artificial satellite?

One major difference between an artificial satellite and a space probe is that an artificial satellite typically orbits a celestial body, such as Earth, while a space probe is designed to travel through space to explore other celestial bodies.


When did the first spacecraft fly to space?

The first man made satellite was Sputnik I launched Oct 4 1957. Sputnik 2 was launched Nov 3 1957, and carried a dog as a passenger, but no provision was made for re-entry - so she was the first casualty in space.


What is angle period of satellite?

The angle of the satellite period, depends on where the satellite is positioned. When you figure out where the satellite is you position the angle to be where and what you need.


How does a geostationary satellite work?

A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates, allowing it to remain in a fixed position relative to a specific point on the Earth's surface. This type of satellite is typically positioned at an altitude of around 35,786 kilometers above the equator, allowing it to maintain a constant view of a specific region on Earth. Geostationary satellites are commonly used for communication, weather monitoring, and navigation purposes.

How a satellite launching can destroy ozone layer?

Satellites fly around stratosphere. They release greenhouse gases there which destroy ozone.


Is there force in space?

No; gravity will continue acting on your body. If there was no force acting on your body while in space (let's say an orbiting satellite), the satellite would fly out of Earth's orbit and just wander off forever, but that doesn't happen - so gravity has to be acting on the satellite and your body as well!


Name one mission satellite that has given information about Jupiter and Neptune?

NASA's Voyager 1 satellite completed mission fly-bys past Jupiter and Neptune. It passed Jupiter in 1979 and Neptune ten years later.
