List the advantages and disadvantages of satellite surveillance and explain why each one is an advantage or disadvantage?

Answer 1

The British had the advantage of being closer to their airfields. German fighters could only stay over England for about half an hour before flying back to their home bases. The advantage of the Spitfire and the Hurricane in individual combat with the Me 109 was that both British aeroplanes could out-turn the German one which was why, when surprised from behind, the enemy's defensive manoeuvre was to push the stick forward into a dive which, in 1940, we could not follow. If we were surprised, our defence was to turn quickly and keep turning because the Me 109's radius of turn was bigger than that of a Spitfire or Hurricane and thus he could not keep you in his sights. If he was inexperienced enough to try, he would find the British fighter behind him after a couple of circuits.

Answer 2

Advantages of satellite surveillance include wide coverage, providing real-time data, and being able to monitor remote areas. Wide coverage allows for comprehensive monitoring of large areas, real-time data enables quick responses to events, and monitoring remote areas enhances security and environmental monitoring.

Disadvantages of satellite surveillance include high costs, potential for privacy violations, and susceptibility to weather conditions. High costs limit accessibility to smaller organizations, privacy violations may occur through constant monitoring, and weather conditions can impact satellite imaging quality and coverage.
