What year did a satellite go into orbit around venus?
In 2005 a satellite went into orbit around Venus.
How is a weather satellite in polar orbit able to view Earths surface?
From the question, I'm guessing that when the questioner reads the term "polar orbit", he's picturing the satellite doing a little tiny circle in the sky over the North Pole. This is not an accurate understanding of the term. Remember that the center of the orbit of an artificial satellite has to be at the center of the earth. A 'polar orbit' is an orbit that covers both poles. If you picture the globe of the earth, the satellite's orbit is a circle standing up, with the satellite traveling up and down, passing over both poles in each complete revolution of the earth. As the earth rotates, every point on earth passes under the orbit, and sooner or later, every point on earth will be visible from the satellite.
Which Satellite has an orbit which passes the equator?
All satellites pass the equator. Twice every orbit.
Is the orbit for a tv satellite called a polar orbit?
A polar orbit (as opposed to an equatorial orbit) passes over the poles, north and south. A low orbit is relatively close to the Earth (or other object being orbited), it might be a few hundred miles up.
A satellite is 200 miles above the earth It has a mass of 150 kg If the mass of the satellite were tripled?
You don't really have a question here. If the satellite is in orbit, the mass is essentially irrelevant; it wouldn't change the speed of the orbit or the altitude. A larger satellite mass WOULD HAVE required more fuel and more energy to LAUNCH it, but once in orbit, it will stay there. The only exception would be an exceptionally large, light satellite. There is still some minuscule traces of atmosphere at 200 miles, and a large, light satellite would be slowed by air friction much more than a small dense satellite would. This is what caused the "ECHO" satellite - essentially a silvered mylar balloon inflated in orbit as a primitive reflector comsat - to deorbit.
A satellite in a low earth orbit moving faster than a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
YES As height increases, speed of satellite decreases.
Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
Who invented cartosat 2a?
CARTOSAT 2A is an Earth observation satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit. The satellite is the thirteenth satellite in the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite series to be built, launched and maintained by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
The circumference of the orbit of a satellite is 260400km the satellite is travelling at 10850km how long does the satellite take to complete one orbit?
24 hours
What is the best classification for a natural satellite?
Mainly classification of Satellite is as under 1:Structure 2:Orbit Shape 3:Orbit rotation 4:Orbit Inclination 5:Orbit Height 6:Function
What is repitivity and revisit of satellite orbit?
The repetitivity and revisit of satellite orbit refers to the time elapsed between observations of the same point on earth by a satellite. It usually depends with the target location, the orbit of the satellite and the swath of the sensor.
Who was first to invented the satellite?
The very first satellite put into orbit was the Russian satellite Sputnik put into orbit on October 4th, 1957.
What are the satellite planets?
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.
What is The plane of a satellite's orbit must intersect?
The plane of a satellite's orbit must include the center of the earth.
What year did a satellite go into orbit around venus?
In 2005 a satellite went into orbit around Venus.
How can you tell that a satellite is in geostationary?
Watch the satellite, with either a telescope or a very highly directional radio antenna. An observation period of twelve hours will be long enough to answer the question. If the satellite appears to move in the sky by more than a few tenths of a degree during that time, then it is not in geostationary orbit.
What objects are in Orbit?
Satellite's
