A geosynchronous satellite will never be over California; it will be over the equator. But it will be within view of California, which is the important thing.
It doesn't really matter where it is launched from; by careful adjustment of the speed of the spacecraft, the controllers can get it to any spot in geo-synch.
Where in the world is the best place to launch a satellite?
As you know best places satellite launch to space is to be equator plane of earth. Because gravity is less than polar. Acording to the Napier rules, your launch angle must be equal latitute angle if you launch a thing to space. Thanks to all.
Satellites orbit celestial bodies because the force of gravity (always attractive) is balanced with the satellites forward momentum. Think of it as constantly falling over the edge of the Earth. In other words, if you could hit a golf ball far and fast enough, it would fall over the edge of Earth and keep going. If you remove gravity, it would shoot off into space in a straight line. If you remove forward momentum, it will fall to the ground. (see link) == ==
What is the use of a sky satellite?
The purpose of a satellite is that it observes the earth and it's movements. It also works the telephone, the Internet, radio's, navigation tools like GPS' and cell phones. if we didn't have satellites we wouldn't know anything about our planet and the solar systems so it's purpose is the observe the earth and discover things about it that can help with technology or even things with creation/religion etc.
What do they call the Big grass Field on an Orbiting Satellite?
A Park In Space : according to the math worksheet
Like a big metal spider. It has a large ball like body with antennas coming out of it. A link to wiki is below, you can find a picture and other information on that page.
Why do you use Microwave to communicate between earth satellite?
Microwaves play a huge role in space exploration and technology. There is almost nothing in outer space to block or absorb lower-frequency waves, such as radio waves. However, the earth's ionized upper atmospheric layer-the ionosphere-reflects or absorbs most lower-frequency waves before they leave the vicinity of earth. But microwaves are different; they can penetrate the ionosphere and travel all the way to Mars and even further. This makes them useful for exploring the universe.
The most useful application of microwaves in space, however, is satellite communications. Satellites make communication between widely separated points on earth possible without any physical connection between the two points, such as telephone lines or fiber-optic cables. Because microwaves travel in straight lines, there has to be something in space to reflect or retransmit the microwaves if the two points cannot see each other directly-that's where satellites come in.
Hope this helps!

How long does it take to be a Satellite Engineer?
Generally becoming an engineer of any sort takes a bachelor's degree. While most schools will list it as a four year degree, an awful lot of the participants take a little longer. Failing physics the first time through is a common reason. Wisely concluding that you can't take chemistry, physics, calculus, and mechanics all at once is another. A good option is to take a co-op job sometime during your academic career. This will probably stretch things out another year or so, but what you learn is enormously valuable. You'll have a lot better idea of what the real world wants, and a better idea of what you want, so you can tailor your academics to fit. You'll also be MUCH more employable when you graduate. So plan on five years from the time you graduate from high school. There aren't a as many big spacecraft bus makers as there used to be Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Loral, Ball, plus some smaller makers like General Dynamics (formerly Spectrum Astro), Orbital, AeroAstro, JPL, JHU/APL, maybe Swales. Don't overlook the next level, the suppliers of major components. This could be an instrument shop like ITT, Raytheon, BAE, or Ball, or suppliers of major components, someone who makes thermal control devices, attitude control components or rocket engines.
False. Why would it slow down? There is no friction in a high orbit; a satellite can orbit indefinitely. Only in low orbits will satellites slow down and fall from orbit, and the cause is the friction of the extremely tenuous final traces of Earth's atmosphere.
What are non man made satellites?
non made satellites are those which orbits any planet or star such as earth,moon.
Where is the flasher fuses located in a Lincoln Mark V?
There are no Flasher Fuses per sey. There is a turn signal fuse, and there is a Flasher Relay. Go to www.autozone.com and look up component locations.
it help support millitary activities
2-it help transfer telehone call over the ocean
4-they re used for exploring different planet

What is an unmanned satellite?
Quite simply, this is any space vehicle that does not have a live crew of humans or animals on board. All communications, military and meteorological machines that are orbiting the Earth are unmanned satellites, as are the probes that we have sent to other planets in our Solar System.
What is the first step in the formation of a solar system?
A nebula, a large cloud of hydrogen gas, comes together under its gravity over a long period of time. One trigger may be perturbation from nearby supernovas.
Which is the satellite made in India and launched successfully from India?
The first satellite made and launched successfully from an Indian rocket was Rohini 3 launched in April 1983. Since then India has launched a number of sattelites both it's own and for other countries as well as designing and operating satellites launched by the European space agency.
Who is sputnik and what is he famous for?
Sputnik was a series of satellites built and launched by the then Soviet union.
Sputnik 1 and 2 became the first two man made objects to attain orbit around the Earth.
What satellite was launched on October 4th 1957?
The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth.
