What Major events in 1957 during launch of sputnik?

In 1957, the major event was the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik, which became the first artificial Earth satellite. This event marked the beginning of the space age and the space race between the US and the Soviet Union. It also led to the establishment of NASA in the United States in response to the perceived technological and military threat posed by Sputnik.


What is the definition of satellite?

In terms of space, a satellite is a body that orbits around another. This can be either a natural satellite, like the moon orbiting the Earth, or an artificial one like the Mariner 10 satellite or the communications satellites that daily provide us with access to information worldwide.A natural satellite or moon is a celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body, which is called the primary. Technically, the term natural satellitecould refer to a planet orbiting a star, or a dwarf galaxy orbiting a major galaxy, but it is normally synonymous with moon and used to identify non-artificial satellites of planets, dwarf planets, and minor planets. (There are no known natural satellites of moons.)A satellite is essentially something that orbits a planet, it can be man made (eg. GPS satellites) or celestial bodies (eg. the earths moon).A satellite is an artificial body put in to orbit around the earth, sun, moon or planet for communication purposes or to collect information.A satalite is an object that orbits another object. For example, the moon is a satalite because it orbits the Earth. The Earth is also a satalite because it orbits the sun. Any rock that is orbiting the Earth right now is also a satalite etc, etc.


Is momentum the only major force acting on a satellite?

Momentum is not a force.The only major force acting on a satellite is the gravitational attraction of the Earth (assuming it happens to go around the Earth).


Describe the orbit of artificial stellite in space?

1). The orbit is an ellipse, with the center of the earth at one focus. Every point on the orbit lies in the same plane. 2). The satellite's speed is not constant. The speed is highest when the satellite is closest to the earth, and lowest when it is farthest from the earth. The line from the center of the earth to the satellite sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. 3). There are an infinite number of orbits possible, with different sizes and different eccentricities. If any two orbits are compared, the ratio of the squares of their periods of revolution is equal to the ratio of the cubes of the semi-major axes of their ellipses. For convenience, this description referred to an artificial satellite in orbit around the earth. But these statements are just Kepler's Laws, and they apply equally to ANY satellite ... natural or artificial ... in orbit around ANYTHING that's much more massive than the satellite ... the earth, the moon, Jupiter, the sun, or the center of the galaxy.


What do moons orbit?

A natural satellite (or moon), usually orbits a major planet.
