Satellites cannot orbit one country. They may remain in geostationary orbit, but only at the equator. Therefore no satellite stays above only New Zealand.

How many satellites over New Zealand?
The figure varies depending on the source, but there is between 1.6 million and 1.9 million television receivers in New Zealand.
What is the New Zealand and Australian currency?
New Zealand and Australia have distinct currencies. Australia has the Australian Dollar and New Zealand has the New Zealand Dollar. They are not interchangeable or usable in both countries and they have differing values.
Are wild dog in New Zealand?
There are no werewolves in New Zealand.
What is the name of the indegenous population of New Zealand?
The indigenous people of New Zealand are the Maori.
What county is Rotorua New Zealand in?
New Zealand
Which is the artificial satellite of Pluto?
Pluto has no artificial satellites. We have never placed any satellites in orbit around Pluto, other than the New Horizons spacecraft, which was sent to do a flyby observation of Pluto for a short time, and then move on to Kuiper belt object (486958) 2014 MU69.
How many military satellites orbit earth?
Thousands, but the actual number is classified and varies from week to week as satellites de-orbit and new ones are launched.
How many satellites are moving around earth?
One big, natural satellite has been in orbit 4.5 billion years. We call it "the moon." There are about 180 man made satellites in geosynchronous orbit. More are added every few years. In low earth orbit there are about 3000, at the present time. Older ones tend to fall back to earth, but new ones are added every few months. The first artificial satellite was launched by the Russians in 1957.
What do you do after sending a space shuttle up?
After a space shuttle is launched it goes in orbit around the Earth. While in orbit, the astronauts preform experiments that can only be done in micro gravity or preform maintenance on satellites, or launch new satellites.
Who was the first person discovered satellite?
Pre-historic humanoids were well aware of the moon, which is a satellite.
How many satellites over New Zealand?
The figure varies depending on the source, but there is between 1.6 million and 1.9 million television receivers in New Zealand.
Do all planets have an artificial satellites?
No. There are no artificial satellites orbiting Mercury, Uranus, or Neptune. Mercury has had artificial satellites in the past that were deliberately deorbited when their missions ended. The space probe Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune, but since it never orbited them, it cannot be considered a satellite. Similarly, New Horizons flew by Pluto, which is no longer considered a planet. The one space probe orbiting Saturn, named Cassini, will be deorbited in September 2017.
How many satellites are there in space?
That depends on what you call a satellite. The correct use of the word simply means an object caught in earths orbit. If this is what you are looking for there are litterally tens of thousands of objects from small meteorites to lost tools and rocket stages floating in orbit. So much so that it is now becomming increasingly dangerous to put new vehicles in space as the debris orbits at around 17000 miles per hour. If man made satellites for communications is what you are searching for then thats difficult to gauge. It's unlikely that most countries will admit to placing spy satellites in space to the true figure is difficult to say, but The Goddard Space Flight Center's lists 2,271 satellites currently in orbit. Russia has the most satellites currently in orbit, with 1,324 satellites, followed by the U.S. with 658.
What are space shuttle used for?
To carry things to and from orbit around the Earth.
Who discovered artificial satellite?
The Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth, so the person who discovered it was probably Ugghhh, the First Caveman. Artificial satellites weren't developed until the 1950's, and so the "discoverer" was one of the Soviet engineers who launched the first Sputnik, the first artificial satellite of the Earth. Other planets have their own satellites. Galileo is credited as discovering the four largest satellites of Jupiter in January, 1610, when he pointed his new telescope at Jupiter.
Why is it not sensible to put communication satellites into lower orbits?
There is only one orbital altitude where the satellites do not appear to move; that is the 23,500 mile "geo-synchronous" orbit where communications satellites typically reside. Lower orbits would cause the satellites to orbit more quickly, requiring that the terrestrial antenna be equipped to follow it as it passed over, and to be able to switch to a new satellite once the first one was below the horizon. Since satellite TV antennas are large and not easily movable, a geo-synch orbit makes more sense.
How many satellites are orbiting Pluto?
As of 2012, there are 4 known natural satellites (moons) of Pluto.Charon was discovered in 1978, Nix and Hydra in 2005, and the fourth moon, provisionally called S/2011P1, was found in 2011. Charon's diameter is over half that of Pluto, and the Pluto-Charon pair actually represent a co-orbiting binary system. Nix and Hydra are both much smaller, having diameters estimated at between 5% and 7% of Pluto's.There are no artificial satellites orbiting Pluto. The unmanned NASA probe "New Horizons" will pass near Pluto in 2015.
