There are several thousand. About 30 of them are GPS satellites, and another several dozen are geosynchronous communications satellites that provide TV programming and telephone service. There is the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station, and hundreds of weather satellites.

Name some artificial satellites which are used for different purpose?

The first man-made satellite was Sputnik, launched into orbit in 1957 by the Soviet Union. The first American satellite was Explorer, launched the following year. The oldest satellite still in orbit is Vanguard, launched in 1958 by the US. There are now thousands of satellites currently in orbit, including communications satellites, GPS satellites, and the International Space Station. if you would like to see a real-time 3-D plot of satellites now in orbit, check out the JTRACK 3D web site from NASA.

Is a GPS a VDU?

No, you cannot display arbitrary video on the screen of a GPS navigation unit and many GPS receivers have no screen (e.g. a GPS tracking recorder used on commercial vehicles).GPS is a system maintained by the US Air Force consisting of 3 segments: the space segment composed of 24 active satellites and 6 idle spare satellites, the ground segment manned by US Air Force officers that monitor and control the satellites remotely, and the user segment composed of receivers that decode the signals from the satellites to calculate latitude, longitude, and elevation.


What are 3 differences between asteroid and satellite?

Asteroids are celestial objects made of rock or metal that orbit the sun, while satellites are artificial objects placed in orbit around a planet or moon. Asteroids vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers, while satellites are typically much smaller in size and are man-made. Asteroids can be found throughout the solar system, while satellites are specifically designed and launched by humans for various purposes such as communication, navigation, or scientific research.
