The same way they prevent the moon from falling to earth . . . give it enough horizontal speed
so that by the time gravity has pulled it down 10 feet, the surface of the earth has curved down
10 feet, so it's still just as far from the surface as it was originally.
Perform this maneuver enough times, and the moon "falls" through a complete circle around
the earth, without ever getting any closer to it.
And scientists have nothing to do with it.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you need astronauts?
so we can keep our satellites running
Why are three of Saturn's satellites Atlas Prometheus and Pandora called shepherd moons?
They keep Saturn's rings in order.
Why are three of saturns satellites atlas Prometheus and Pandora called shepherd moons?
They keep Saturn's rings in order.

What two ways the sun holds earth in orbit because of?
There are two factors at play when we are looking at satellites orbiting around another object. The same applies for a man made satellite in orbit around earth or another planet, a moon (natural satellite) in orbit around a planet, or the planets themselves orbiting around the sun. There is the satellites the tangential velocity acting away from the system and the gravitational attracting keeping the bodies close together. The satellites have a tangential velocity, they are speeding along sideways relative to the Earth (for example). If there was no gravity, this velocity would take the satellite away from the Earth, but the Earth has a gravitational force which counteracts this effect. The Earths gravitational force is constantly attracting the satellites in, against this tangential velocity. If the satellites were to slow down, then they would eventually spiral into the Earth, but in orbit there is very little drag, so the satellites pretty much maintain their speed and their orbits, though they do need a boost occasionally to keep them in orbit due to the small amount of atmospheric drag over time.
Is there gravity where satellites are at?
Yes there are enough gravitational forces to keep the satellites orbiting earth.
How does satellites work?
they work by the people on earth they use a control button to keep the satellites working
Why must satellites in Leo travel very fast?
Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) must travel fast to continue orbiting the Earth without falling back down due to gravity. The high speed helps to balance the force of gravity to keep the satellite in orbit. Additionally, the fast speed allows the satellite to complete its orbit around the Earth in a relatively short amount of time.
What scientists use weather satellites?
Meteorologists, climatologists, and atmospheric scientists rely on weather satellites to monitor and study weather patterns and predict future conditions. These scientists use data from weather satellites to track storms, monitor changes in climate, and develop weather forecasts to help keep communities safe and informed.
How slow can you go on reentry to earth?
This depends upon how much fuel you are prepared to burn to oppose the force of gravity. Even the ordinary satellites are falling towards the Earth, and require a periodic thrust (burn) to keep them in orbit. Unfortunately, the attraction due to gravity depends on mass, so most of the space junk just stays up there, whereas the orbiting satellites need an occasional burn to keep them there.
What does the gravitational pull of the earth keep around it?
The moon, satellites, international space station, and everything else orbiting the earth.
If you fall off the face of the earth will you keep falling forever?
No, the earth is round as far as I know
How does gravity keep the moon in orbit earth?
The moon is falling, but since the Earth's gravitational pull is constantly acting on it, the moon keeps falling but it is moving towards the Earth so it move in an egg shaped motion.
What two forces keep the moon and all other satellites in orbit around earth?
Gravity and inertia are the two forces that keep the moon and other satellites in orbit around Earth. Gravity pulls the moon towards Earth, while the moon's inertia keeps it moving forward in a curved path, resulting in a stable orbit.
What are examples of solar satellites?
In one sense all the planets are solar satellites, that is, they orbit the sun, just as the moon is Earth's satellite. So Mars, Venus, Earth and all the planets are solar satellites.In another sense a solar satellite could be any of Earth's artificial satellites, because most of them use solar panels to generate the electricity they need to keep sending data back to Earth.
Why don't satellites crash if gravity is attracting them towards the center of the earth?
Because they are in orbit which means they have enough forward motion to keep them into a state of "Free Fall". A satellite is falling to earth's center due to gravity. But for every inch it falls toward earth, earth move out of it's way by one inch.
Why do camras on earth cam keep going temporary unavailable?
cameras on Earth Cam may go temporarily unavailable due to satellites being blocked for short periods of time as the Earth moves in space.
