What was the first satellite to go into orbit what year was it placed into orbit and what is it designed to study?

The first satellite to successfully enter Earth orbit was the so-called "Sputnik-I". Launched on October 4, 1957 from the USSR, it stayed up for about 3 months. It was designed to achieve the greatest possible PR victory just by being there, and didn't study anything ... something like the world's most famous supermodel sent to spend an afternoon walking through the halls of the New York Public Library without stopping.


What is a atificial satellite?

An artificial satellite is a man-made object which is launched into space for the specific purpose of orbiting a planet or celestial body. Most are located in orbit around the Earth but there are many which perform research around other plants.


What is station keeping of satellite?

Geostationary should resolve in geostationary orbit because its centrimeter and gravitational force in geostationary satellite.A parking slot is provided for satellite.In geostationary satellite is maintain in this orbit in its whole life and maintain satellite in geostationary orbit is called "Station Keeping"In other words, the control routine necessary to keep the satellite in positionis known as "Station Keeping".It use to overlapping of coverage area of individual satellite.


Which factor would most likely cause communications satellite orbiting earth to return to earth from its orbit?

The most likely factor that would cause a communications satellite orbiting Earth to return to Earth from its orbit would be atmospheric drag. As the satellite moves through the Earth's atmosphere, it experiences friction with air molecules which can slow it down and cause its orbit to decay, eventually leading to re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.


How does a satellite stay in orbit when it still encounters resistance?

Objects in near Earth orbit experience some drag from the from from the atmosphere. (Mind you, it would take a very sensitive instrument to measure atmospheric pressure at 60 miles up.) The answer to the question is that given enough time, the drag will cause the satellite to lose so much momentum that it will crash into Earth. The most famous example of this was Skylab which was launched into orbit in 1973 and burned up in the atmosphere in 1979.


Is it possible to get satellite internet anywhere?

Yes, it is possible to get satellite internet service in most locations around the world, as long as there is a clear line of sight to the satellite in orbit.


Which layer do most satellite orbit earth?

Most satellites orbit Earth in the low Earth orbit (LEO) which is between 160 to 2,000 kilometers (100 to 1,240 miles) above the Earth's surface.


When was the first satellite launch?

The first satellite was launched on October 4, 1957, the landfill Tura-Tam (now - Baikonur). This day is celebrated in Russia as a day of cosmic forces. The satellite descended from orbit January 4, 1958.


Who did Sputnik 1 orbit first?

Sputnik I? The Russian (Soviet Union) satellite? Well, the Soviet Union had successfully launched this satellite, so the Russians were indeed involved. I am pretty sure that only the Soviet Union was involved (even though Sputnik I was part of the Space Race, the American people did not have anything to do with the satellite).


What is a non Geo stationary satellite?

Non Geo stationary satellite is that satellite which has different angular velocity from earth and not placed on the height of 36000 Km from the earth. If you use Geo stationary satellite than only 3 satellites are enough to cover whole world. most of satellite are geostationary and they are(most of them) active satellites too.
