What else can I help you with?
Can airplanes or satellites fly in the thermosphere?
Yes, airplanes cannot fly in the thermosphere due to the extremely low air density at that altitude. Satellites do not fly in the traditional sense but orbit within the thermosphere, taking advantage of the lack of air resistance.
Should satellites fly on people?
No, satellites should not fly on people because they are designed to orbit the Earth or travel through space autonomously. Placing satellites on people would be impractical, dangerous, and inefficient for their intended purpose.
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.
Do all space satellites stay in the thermosphere?
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
Why don't satellites fly into space?
Satellites, by definition, are in orbit. Which means that they're circling their host (planet). IF you were to increase their speed enough, they would. (And if you slowed it enough, then they would fall to the ground.)
How low can satellites fly in the atmosphere?
about 350 miles is where the international space station is.

In what region of the Earth's atmosphere do Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites fly?
Anything up to 2000 km (1240 miles) above sea level. Low earth orbiting satellites can suffer from atmospheric drag at very low altitudes, although there is little gas around at their orbit, there may still be enough to slow the satellite and cause it's orbit to decay. The lowest satellites would be around 300km in altitude, but would not be able to sustain orbit without an occasional boost.
Do all space satellites stay in the thermosphere?
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
How many satellites have been to uranus?
100 and there is life on uranus... go check
What are spying satellites?
satellites that spy typically in a low earth orbit with a big telescope looking down at the ground, like google satellite on steroids
What layer of the atmosphere is satellites located?
If they are in the atmosphere (low earth orbit), satellites are in the ionosphere. If they are in higher orbits, satellites are considered to be outside the atmosphere.
How do scientists predict tsunami?
they use satellites to see if there is high or low pressure.
How many satellites does the Iridium project use?
It uses 66 small satellites in low earth orbit
