Satellites work by orbiting the Earth and receiving signals from ground stations, then transmitting those signals back to Earth. They are equipped with antennas and sensors to capture and relay information across vast distances. Satellites play a crucial role in communication, weather forecasting, navigation, and scientific research.
What else can I help you with?
How many satallite are in space?
There are thousands of satellites currently in space, used for various purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research. The exact number can fluctuate as new satellites are launched and old ones are decommissioned.
a body thats orbits a planet is called?
Well the only things i can think of are moons, the satelite, and the hubble telescope. But I'm sure that there a few more that mankind has put into space.
What is the first space probe to leave earth?
The first space probe to leave Earth's orbit was the Luna 1, launched by the Soviet Union on January 2, 1959. Luna 1 was designed to impact the moon but missed, becoming the first human-made object to reach the vicinity of another celestial body.
How does the ETC work?
it work sby
Is there work done when an asteroid moves in space with the absence of external force?
Work is equal to Force x Distance. If no force is applied, no work is done.

How do pay per view's generally work and cost?
by ordering thru cable or satallite
Can you drive a satallite?
yup
Does Peru have satallite TVs?
Of course they do
Why do satallite's fall from the sky?
Cause gravity.
What is a satallite heart?
A fictional heart with a satellite in it.
What is an artifical satallite?
an artificial satalite is man made that orbits the earth in the same direction as earth it is placed outside earths atmosphere such as the wather satallite
How do you make a satallite in doodle god?
Its Void + Airplane. lol
What website would you find a satallite picture of Japan?
Google Maps.
Where is the satallite on Poptropica?
you don't need to know you don't need to know
What type of satellite orbits perpendicular to the earths equator?
polar satallite
When raising a satellite to a higher orbit its motor is fired to speed it up and it rises to the higher orbit When you calculate its new velocity it is lower than that of the lower orbit?
Just firing the engines once would result in a highly eccentric orbit. (an oval or ellipse) If you know the definition of an ellipse the earth is one of the foci. When the satallite is nearest the earth it is moving fastest. once the engines are fired once the satallite will rise in altitude on one side of the ellipse and fall back to the starting point on the other side. At it's highest point the satallite will be moving very slowly and will recover it's speed each time it falls closer to the earth again. You can fire the engine at the apogee (peak) of the orbit to raise the speed so that the satallite will not fall back to the perigee (lowest point). The energy used to speed up the satallite is conserved because there is a huge amount of potential energy stored by increasing the altitude of the satallite. So yes, the satallite slows down but the overall energy of the system increases. In reality things don't fall in parabolas, they follow ellipses that are interrupted by the imminent ground. Parabola's work pretty well in human scale though because earth is so huge that it seems nearly flat.
