What are the uses of old satellites?
Old satellites that are in orbit and still powered continue to perform their function. Old satellites that have no power and are still in orbit have no use. Those that fall from orbit have no use as the are destroyed on reentry. Old satellites that have never been launched could be used as museum exhibits.
What kind of satellites are used for Global Positioning Systems?
GPS uses satellites that were placed into orbit by the Department of Defense. The government set up the entire network on their own, and it is free to use as long as you already have a GPS device.
What kind of satellites collect data about a strip of Earth's surface?
Earth observation satellites collect data about a strip of Earth's surface by taking high-resolution images and capturing various types of data such as vegetation health, land use, and weather patterns. These satellites orbit the Earth and use sensors to collect information about specific regions on the planet.
What are some problems that society's use of satellites may cause?
explosions if they fall out of orbit towards earth
Does the Iridium project use satellites?
It is a $4 billion system that was developed to connect calls around the world via 66 small satellites in low earth orbit
How many satellites does the Iridium project use?
It uses 66 small satellites in low earth orbit
How many satellites are there and how high do they orbit?
There are currently 32 GPS satellites Orbiting earth at 20,000Kms above sea level There are also 24 GLONASS satellites (The russian version of a GPS satellite) Which many high end GPS receivers will use in conjunction with the standard GPS satellites. These orbit a little lower than GPS at arond 19,000Kms above sea level. There are 4 Galileo Satellites, which are currently un used, but are the start of the European satellite constealltion which is a work in progress. They orbit at 24,000Kms above sea level. On top of all that, there are 10 Chinese navigation satellites called COMPASS orbiting in an orbit above China and Asia. They orbit at around 21,000 Kms above sea level.

What type of orbit does landsat use?
there once was a boy called john. He was not the usual boy, he liked satellites. One day he designed a satellite and threw it up into the sky. therefore the satellite's orbit is called Destroyer 556.
How does a satllite use a magnetic field?
Satellites use Earth's magnetic field for orientation and stability. By sensing the magnetic field, satellites can determine their orientation in space and adjust their position if needed. This helps them maintain their intended orbit and alignment for successful operation.
What do scientists use to launch satellite into space?
Rockets primarily are used to launch satellites into space. Alternatively, the space shuttle is used for very large satellites, but that option will no longer be available when the fleet is retired at the end of 2010.
Which application of technology which enhances human ability to predict weather changes?
They use satellites, which orbit the earth's atmosphere and detect changes to weather patterns.
