THe series of satellites sharing the name Sputnik were launched by the Russiansm the Soviet Union.
What advantage would there be to placing a satellite in geostationary orbit?
Ease of targeting for up-link, and inversely, consistency in the satellite's geographical area of influence.
What companies offer free satellite?
There are a few companies that offer free satellite. In the United Kingdom, a Sky subscription comes with a free satellite. You can also get a subscription-free service from Freesat.
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east).
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital track on the Earth repeats regularly over points on the Earth over time.
What are space satellites made of?
Titanium is the most commonly used material for making satellites.
What information do satellites collect?
Satellites collect lots of information that we use everyday. Some examples are the weather, pictures of other planets or star's, the geographical location of objects (such as a car used for GPS), and the effect of global warming and pollution.
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
When was the AOL homepage first launched?

The answer to the question: What is the circular velocity of a satellite in meters whose orbit is 2700 km from the Earth surface?
Use Kepler's third Law
The answer is: 6623 m/s.
Formula used: (GM/d)^.5
G=6.67x10^-11m³/kg/s²
M=Mass of Earth=5.57x10^24kg
d=Distance of satellite from the Earth sea level plus radius of Earth=6378km

What happens to old satellites?
Old satellites orbiting near the Earth eventually fall back into the atmosphere and burn. Satellites orbiting farther away stay in orbit indefinitely.
