There are currently 32 GPS satellites Orbiting earth at 20,000Kms above sea level
There are also 24 GLONASS satellites (The russian version of a GPS satellite) Which many high end GPS receivers will use in conjunction with the standard GPS satellites. These orbit a little lower than GPS at arond 19,000Kms above sea level.
There are 4 Galileo Satellites, which are currently un used, but are the start of the European satellite constealltion which is a work in progress. They orbit at 24,000Kms above sea level.
On top of all that, there are 10 Chinese navigation satellites called COMPASS orbiting in an orbit above China and Asia. They orbit at around 21,000 Kms above sea level.
What else can I help you with?
Has any satellites and robots showed up on Jupiter and what years?
No satellites or robots have ever shown up on Jupiter as far as we know. We have sent our own exploration probes that have passed Jupiter.
How many GPS satellites are in the sky?
best to get intouch with military or nasa to find out
What robots or satellites have explored Saturn?
the Cassinni in 2004
How can you tell that a star isn't a satellite?
Stars do twinkle--because of their immense distance, only one photon reaches us at a time, and if it is deflected by air currents, we see it blink. Satellites do not twinkle either, because they are even closer. Their brightness will also vary as the satellite changes its aspect to the sun as it orbits the earth. They do not have red and green blinking lights. Satellites do move, quite quickly. Low orbit satellites orbit the earth every 90 minutes to 2 hours, so they will actually cross the sky in minutes. Geosynchronous satellites are about 150 times farther away (23,000 miles) than low-orbit satellites, and typically are not visible to the naked eye at all. Stars, of course, do not move appreciably. In short, if you look up just for tonight: Stars: twinkle and don't move Satellites: don't twinkle and move like gangbusters.
What is the name of an object that moves across the sky in minutes?
A satellite is an object that moves across the sky in minutes. Satellites are man-made objects that orbit around Earth and can be seen in the night sky as they reflect sunlight.
What satellites can a sky dish pick up?
If you have the correct decoder box, and you know the position in the sky, the sky dish is just a satellite receiver so it can be used to pick up any one that is up there. You may have to change the LMB , I am not sure on that.
Why can't we see satellites orbiting?
You can see satellites orbiting. If you go on a clear night to somewhere which is far from city lights, you will sometimes see dots moving across the sky - these are satellites reflecting sunlight.
Has any satellites and robots showed up on Jupiter and what years?
No satellites or robots have ever shown up on Jupiter as far as we know. We have sent our own exploration probes that have passed Jupiter.
How many satellites in sky?
There are thousands of satellites currently orbiting the Earth. The exact number can vary, as new satellites are launched and old ones are decommissioned regularly.
How high are the sky broadcast satellites?
22,340 miles above the equator.
How many satellites cross the sky in 1 hour?
I think its about 50..
What is up in the blue sky?
the o-zone layer which will choke you if you fly too far up
How are satellites give lights to the planet during the night time?
Satellites don't give light, they reflect it. At night they are high up enough to reflect the Sun's light, particularly in the hours close to sunrise and sunset or in places in the world where the sun is not too far below the horizon. As they fly through the sky they start to reflect sunlight, first getting brighter and then fading again before disappearing. It is easy to know something is a satellite as it looks like a slow moving star that brightens up and then fades again over the course of a few minutes. On a clear night, if you look at the sky long enough you may spot several satellites.
How far did the atomic bomb in Hiroshima go up in the sky?
1000 ft.
Where is the sky freesat located?
The sky freesat is not located at a designated spot. It can receive channels from several satellites coming from the UK.
How far are satelittes from earth?
The altitude of a satellite's orbit depends on the purpose of the satellite. Photographic satellites orbit close to the Earth, to get a good view. They are about 130 miles up. We want weather satellites and communications satellites to stay in the same spot in the sky all the time, which is called "geo-synchronous orbit", 23,500 miles up. GPS satellites are about 12,000 miles up.
What is up the sky or pie?
The Sky Is Up as Far as i Know the Pie can't be put up or it will fall The sky has a Heavy Package If you Throw Some thing It Will Come Back down . The Sky is More inportent in Life I Don't Care if Pie is Yummy To eat .. So there your Anwser is Sky
