From Earth to an orbiting satellite it takes approximately 200 to 299million M/S or slightly slower than the speed oflight. This varies on weather and atmospheric conditions. The signal is significantly faster, or closer to the speed of light (299792458 M/S), in the Vacuum of Outer Space.
Gravity affects a satellite launch by pulling the satellite towards the Earth during its initial phase of ascent. This requires the rocket to generate enough thrust to overcome gravity in order to reach the desired orbit. Once the satellite is in orbit, gravity continues to affect its trajectory, helping to keep it in orbit around the Earth.
The first man-made lunar satellite was the Soviet probe Luna 1, which was launched on January 2, 1959. It was intended to impact the moon, but instead, it became the first spacecraft to reach heliocentric orbit, making it the first human-made object to leave Earth's orbit.
The first space shuttle to reach Earth's orbit was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which completed its maiden flight on April 12, 1981.
It typically takes a few minutes for a satellite to reach space after launch. The exact time can vary depending on the launch vehicle and the specific orbit the satellite is being deployed into.
They are placed on top of a rocket, which accelerates them until they "escape" the atmosphere and enter space. Satellites are spacecraft that orbit the Earth or a planet, while those that travel through space are usually called "space probes."
Sputnik was the first satellite to orbit the Earth. It was Russian and transmitted a radio signal. It is possible that a earlier satellite could be in orbit, without any communications this would be the same as a cannon shell etc. So long as an object can reach orbit it will constantly drop towards the planet and because the planet is round the object will rotate around being pulled by gravity
the speed of light = 299792458 m / sGEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) = 35863000 m above the Earth's surfaceround trip time = 2*(35863000)/299792458 =0.239 sthe time needed for an RF signal to reach a GEO satellite and gets retransmitted back to a ground station on earth is approximately 240 milliseconds(assuming zero signal propagation/processing time in the satellite and equatorial ground station location with the same longitude as the satellite slot)
No it does not reach signal to the huge satellite
A satellite can be launched into orbit simply by launching it out of the Earth's atmosphere. To do so, the object will need to reach escape velocity, calculated by the formula v = sqrt(2GM/r), where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, and r is the distance from the center of the earth.

Sound waves produced on the Earth cannot reach an orbiting satellite. Sound needs a material substance to travel through. But in order to remain in orbit, a satellite must scrupulously avoid passing through any material substance, lest it lose kinetic energy to friction, and plummet to Earth in a fiery display of utter finality.
The first man made satellite to orbit the Earth was Sputnik 1, launched on 4th October 1957 by the Soviet Union Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet pilot, was the first man to reach orbit on 12th April 1961.

Sirius does not orbit the Sun.
A GPS satellite continuously broadcasts signals that allow GPS receivers on the ground to determine their location by measuring the time it takes for the signal to reach them. The satellites also transmit their own precise position and time data to help the receivers calculate their exact location on Earth accurately.
