An isochronous satellite is one that orbits the earth in one day. So it orbits the earth as the same speed as the earth rotates. Most satellites that are isochronous are infact geostationary satellites as they also stay in the same position above the earth. However these satellites occupy a very specific orbit above the equator. It is possible to have isochronous satellites that aren't geostationary however getting them to remain in orbit would prove difficult.
A satellite is an object in space that is orbiting another object. The moon is a natural satellite of the earth. Man-made satellites orbit the earth just outside the earth atmosphere and used for many purposes such as GPS, telecommunications, weather, and spying to name a few. Satellites are in space
satellites that spy typically in a low earth orbit with a big telescope looking down at the ground, like google satellite on steroids
Yes satellites have the ability to detect stealth planes. Stealth technology was likely invented in Germany during World War II.
Russia has 1,324 the united states has only 658.
You can find a list of satellites launched by Russia on websites such as n2yo.com or celestrak.com. These websites provide real-time tracking information for satellites in orbit, including those launched by Russia.
1957 Russia launched the first satellite.
It is used for communication plates where geostationary satellites can't reach, in polar areas. Russia uses elliptical satellites where the geostationary satellites can't reach.
Many countries have the ability to produce satellites: China, India, Japan, Germany, France, Canada, the United States, and Russia. A smaller number of countries have facilities for launching satellites.
There are 13 countries which have the capability to launch satellites to orbit. Those are: Soviet Union / Russia United States France Japan China UK India Isrel Russia Ukrine Iran North Korea South Korea --note-- The above information is incorrect. The Soviet Union does not exist since 1991. Russia and Ukraine inherited their space facilities from the former Soviet Union. Britain and France launch satellites under the aegis of the European Space Agency, which also launches satellites for many other countries. South Korea does not have an indigenous satellite launch ability at this time. Private corporations SpaceX and Orbital Sciences have been launching satellites for years.
Over 60 countries have launched satellites. Of these, the three largest contributors to the number of satellites currently in orbit as of 2013 are Russia at 1457, the United States at 1110, and China at 140.
It has 3 satellites!

Russia has a history of focusing on space exploration, dating back to the Soviet era. The country continues to prioritize its space program for national security, scientific research, and commercial purposes. Having a large number of satellites allows Russia to maintain a strong presence in space, support its military capabilities, and contribute to international cooperation in space exploration.
There are thousands of satellites in Earth's orbit, with estimates ranging from 2,200 to over 3,000 active satellites. Additionally, there are many more inactive or defunct satellites and debris in orbit.
As of 2021, there are around 80 countries with active satellites in orbit around Earth. These satellites serve various purposes including communication, weather monitoring, Earth observation, and scientific research.
