Does a satellite in low tilt at low altitude show more of the earths surface than one in high tilt at same altitude?
Yes, a satellite in a low tilt at a low altitude will cover more of the Earth's surface due to its proximity and angle of view compared to a satellite in a high tilt at the same altitude. The lower tilt allows for a larger field of view, capturing more of the Earth's surface in a single orbit.
What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
What is the height of space lab in orbit?
About 350 kilometres (220 mi) above the surface of the Earth.
What is the orbit of the extreme ultraviolet explorer?
On average, EUVE orbits about 93 miles above the Earth.
What is an orbit that is less that 1500 km above the surface of the eatht?
An orbit less than 1500 km above Earth's surface is considered a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Satellites in LEO typically orbit between 160 km and 2000 km above Earth and are commonly used for communication, Earth observation, and scientific research due to their close proximity to the planet. These orbits are characterized by faster speeds and shorter orbital periods compared to higher altitude orbits.
LEO satellites orbit the Earth with an altitude as low as miles?
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth as low as 100 miles and up to 1,240 miles close to the Earth's poles.
How is a orbit in space formed?
an object that moves fast enough can orbit another body in space. As a minimum, to orbit the Earth you need to travel 30,000 kph at 100 km altitude.
Where do you think Earth-observing satellites orbit and what determines their orbital altitude?
Earth-observing satellites typically orbit in low Earth orbit (LEO) or geostationary orbit (GEO). The orbital altitude of these satellites is determined by factors such as the mission objectives, desired coverage area, and the balance between gravitational pull and orbital velocity.
Does a satellite in low tilt at low altitude show more of the earths surface than one in high tilt at same altitude?
Yes, a satellite in a low tilt at a low altitude will cover more of the Earth's surface due to its proximity and angle of view compared to a satellite in a high tilt at the same altitude. The lower tilt allows for a larger field of view, capturing more of the Earth's surface in a single orbit.
How long does it take a satellite to circle the Earth?
That depends on the altitude. Low altitude satellites, about 140 miles up, take about 90 minutes to orbit. Communications satellites 23,000 miles up take 24 hours. The higher the orbit, the longer it takes.
Why is the minimum skydiving 2500ft?
The United States Parachute Association dictates a minimum container opening altitude of 2,000'. That said, I've seen it done from as low as 400'.
What altitude is minimum for launching a satellite?
Technically, any altitude is minimum, as long as one can overcome aerodynamic drag (and not hitting anything else) and have enough centripetal acceleration (from travelling in an orbit) to counter the gravitational pull towards the center of the earth. In fact, most satellites operate at different altitudes within their orbits, the closest point (to earth) of the orbit being perigee and the point farthest away being apogee. Sputnik, one of the first satellites, had a perigee of 228 km, which puts it at a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). In LEO, atmospheric effects such as air drag (not too much, but still can be significant) can cause the orbit to degrade. However, you can also have Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and High Earth Orbit (HEO), with different corresponding altitudes for each.
How do you bake cakes at a low altitude?
Cake recipes only need adjusting for high altitude, not for low altitude.
How long does it take for a space ship to orbit the earth?
The time it takes for a spacecraft to orbit the Earth depends on its altitude and speed, but an orbit typically takes around 90 minutes for a low Earth orbit. However, for higher orbits, such as geostationary orbit, it can take much longer.
What is minimum flight altitude?
1000 feet
How long does it take to orbit around earth in space?
Orbital times vary as a function of the height of the orbiting vehicle or object. The higher its altitude, the longer it takes to make an orbit. The ISS and space shuttle are in low earth orbit and take approximately ninety minutes to complete one orbit.
If altitude increases the required orbital speed of a satellite should?
For any body in a closed orbit around another body, the farther apart the two bodies are, the slower the satellite moves in its orbit.. When the Space Shuttle is in "low earth orbit", it moves faster than the Moon is moving in its orbit. A satellite in an elongated orbit, that spends some of the time close to the earth and some of the time farther away, moves fastest at its lowest altitude, and slowest when it is furthest away.
