Artificial Satellites

The two main types of satellites are communication satellites, which are used for transmitting signals for television, internet, and telephone services, and Earth observation satellites, which are used for collecting data about the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans for various purposes such as weather forecasting and environmental monitoring.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was the President when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik on October 4, 1957.

Florida is the state bounded by water on three sides, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west and south. The first U.S. earth satellite launch took place in Florida at Cape Canaveral on January 31, 1958.

Astronauts in space require specialized tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, drills, and grip tools designed to function in microgravity. They also use tools for conducting experiments, repairing equipment, and performing maintenance tasks onboard the spacecraft or International Space Station. Additionally, astronauts may utilize tools like retractable tethers and foot restraints to secure themselves while working outside the spacecraft during spacewalks.

Man-made satellites are typically composed of a variety of materials, including aluminum, titanium, and composite materials. They also contain electronic components such as solar panels, batteries, antennas, and sensors. Additionally, satellites may have propulsion systems to control their orbit and orientation.

An unmanned mission is a space mission where no humans are onboard the spacecraft. Instead, the spacecraft is controlled remotely from Earth or operates autonomously. Unmanned missions are commonly used for gathering scientific data, conducting experiments, or exploring space where it may be too dangerous for humans.

There are different types of human-made satellites, including communication satellites, weather satellites, navigation satellites, reconnaissance satellites, and scientific research satellites. Each type serves a specific purpose such as enabling communication, monitoring weather patterns, providing navigation services, gathering intelligence, or conducting scientific experiments.

No satellites stays exactly still as they could not remain in orbit, but probably you are meaning a geostationary satellite. The orbit of these satellites matches the speed of the earth turning underneath them, so they remain above the same geographical point on the earth.

The Earth's seasons are not caused by variations in the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Instead, they are a result of the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun.

No, Rakesh Sharma did not land on the moon. He was the first Indian astronaut to travel in space aboard the Soyuz T-11 spacecraft in 1984. The Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s were the ones that landed astronauts on the moon.

Sputnik 2 was a Russian satellite that was launched into orbit. It carried a dog and crashed into Earthâ??s atmosphere.

Satellites can provide a wide range of services, including weather forecasting, GPS navigation, communication services, remote sensing for environmental monitoring, and scientific research. They also support surveillance and reconnaissance activities, as well as monitoring activities such as agriculture, urban planning, and disaster response.

The Earth's nearest natural satellite is the Moon. It is about 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) away from Earth on average.

The inventor of the satellite is Arthur C. Clarke, a science fiction writer who proposed the concept of communication satellites in 1945. His idea laid the foundation for the development and launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, by the Soviet Union in 1957.

As of October 2021, the latest satellite launched by India is EOS-03 (Earth Observation Satellite 03). It was launched on August 12, 2021, onboard the GSLV-F10 rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. EOS-03 is primarily intended for applications in agriculture, forestry, and disaster management.

Natural satellites, we only have one - the Moon - helps us by providing a bit of moonlight at night, and also plays a role in stabilising the Earth on its axis.

Artificial satellites helps us with navigation, communication, weather forecasts, pictures of the Earth and surveying.

The first American satellite, Explorer 1, was launched on January 31, 1958. It marked the United States' entry into the space race and was a response to the Soviet Union's successful launch of Sputnik.

INSAT-2A was an Indian communication satellite launched in 1992 that provided services such as telecommunication, television broadcasting, and meteorological data dissemination. It operated in geostationary orbit and played a crucial role in improving communication networks in India. The satellite had a mission life of around 8 years.

Five artificial satellites that are orbiting the earth are ACRIMSAT, HAMSAT, OSCAR 3, PicoSAT and RADARSAT. There are scores of satellites that orbit the Earth for one reason or another.

The first artificial satellite was Sputnik I, launched by the Soviet Union on the 4th of October 1957

Yes, both were launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

It shocked the American scientific community, and also the US military and government, who hadn't realized the Soviets were that far advanced technologically; the big fear was that the next space launch might contain a nuclear bomb, which could be exploded over an American city, or fired toward it. The Soviets might also try to colonize or control access to outer space. Prior to the Sputnik launch, America hadn't taken space science very seriously; afterward, it became a high priority. Future President Lyndon B. Johnson (then a Senator) was quoted as saying "I for one do not want to go to bed by the light of a Communist moon."

After his election, President John F. Kennedy vowed to put a man on the moon within 10 years. He knew that we were behind the Russians in putting a man into space. So he raised the goal higher. Out of this achievement, many new technological inventions were born.

The first artificial satellite in space was called the Sputnik. The Sputnik satellite was launched on the 4th of October, 1957. It belonged to the Soviet Union.
