Yes. There are many satellites that are geostationary. That is they remain fixed over the same relative position of the Earth. In the night sky, it would appear to not move in relation to the background stars and other stellar bodies.
Typically, three satellites are needed to determine a 2D position (latitude and longitude), while four satellites are needed to determine a 3D position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) using GPS technology.
Yes, satellites move quickly across the sky, traveling at speeds of thousands of kilometers per hour in orbit around the Earth. This rapid movement is necessary to maintain their orbits and stay in communication with ground stations.
You can see satellites orbiting. If you go on a clear night to somewhere which is far from city lights, you will sometimes see dots moving across the sky - these are satellites reflecting sunlight.
Yes, it is possible to see satellites from the ground with the naked eye. Satellites are typically visible during the early morning or evening hours when the sun's light reflects off them. They appear as moving points of light in the night sky.
I think its about 50..
best to get intouch with military or nasa to find out
about a 100 basket-ball sized satelittes fall every year.

The sky freesat is not located at a designated spot. It can receive channels from several satellites coming from the UK.
Yes, they appear as slowly moving stars in the night sky.
Sky TV is available via the Astra 2 satellites at 28.2 degrees east. http://www.ses-astra.com/consumer/uk/how-to-receive-astra/index.php Sky don't launch rockets for the satellites to get into space. Astra buy space on rockets to place their satellites into orbit. Usually these are on Ariane (European space agency) or via a Proton rocket.

It has 3 satellites!
