name some satellite uses?

Question

please im in science and my job is to find some out and it dosnt tell us anything

Answer 1

“Satellites” are objects which have been placed into orbit by human endeavor. They are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon.

Types of Satellites:
• Anti-Satellite weapons, sometimes called "Killer satellites" are satellites designed to destroy "enemy" satellites, other orbital weapons and targets. Some are armed with kinetic rounds, while others use energy and/or particle weapons to destroy satellites, ICBMs, MIRVs. Both the U.S. and the USSR had these satellites. Links discussing "Killer satellites", ASATS (Anti-Satellite satellite) include USSR Tests ASAT weapon and ASAT Test. See also IMINT

• Astronomical satellites are satellites used for observation of distant planets, galaxies, and other outer space objects.

• Biosatellites are satellites designed to carry living organisms, generally for scientific experimentation.

• Communications satellites are satellites stationed in space for the purpose of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites typically use geosynchronous orbits, Molniya orbits or Low Earth orbits.

• Miniaturized satellites are satellites of unusually low weights and small sizes. New classifications are used to categorize these satellites: minisatellite (500–200 kg), microsatellite (below 200 kg), nanosatellite (below 10 kg).

• Navigational satellites are satellites which use radio time signals transmitted to enable mobile receivers on the ground to determine their exact location. The relatively clear line of sight between the satellites and receivers on the ground, combined with ever-improving electronics, allows satellite navigation systems to measure location to accuracies on the order of a few metres in real time.

• Reconnaissance satellites are Earth observation satellite or communications satellite deployed for military or intelligence applications. Little is known about the full power of these satellites, as governments who operate them usually keep information pertaining to their reconnaissance satellites classified.

• Earth observation satellites are satellites intended for non-military uses such as environmental monitoring, meteorology, map making etc. (See especially Earth Observing System.)

• Solar power satellites are proposed satellites built in high Earth orbit that use microwave power transmission to beam solar power to very large antennae on Earth where it can be used in place of conventional power sources.

• Space stations are man-made structures that are designed for human beings to live on in outer space. A space station is distinguished from other manned spacecraft by its lack of major propulsion or landing facilities — instead, other vehicles are used as transport to and from the station. Space stations are designed for medium-term living in orbit, for periods of weeks, months, or even years.

• Weather satellites are satellites that primarily are used to monitor Earth's weather and climate.

Answer 2

you mean artificial satellites i guess since natural ones can just maybe crush on earth and change our climate (which could be useful looking at the trend!).

satellites... well there are telecommunication satellites, to transmit television telephone or whatever across the globe; then GPS satellites, which tell you your coordinates on earth; then an international space station to do no gravity science experiments; a orbiting telescope (hubble) - not sure if they're using it still- ; then... hum, think that's it for me!

Answer 3

it truly is a super question, you will ought to study the european area employer NASA the Russian area software, the chinese language area software. There are hundreds of satellites maximum of them take care of Communications, then you definately've climate, GPS, and secret agent satellites

Answer 4

Weather monitoring, communications, navigation, weapons platforms..............

Doug

Answer 5

long-distance communications, navigation, weathering, research, and discoveries...
