Satellite working and history


What is Satellite?

Satellite is an artificial body which is placed in orbit and round the earth or a planet to collect information or for communication.

What is the principle of satellite?

Satellite is a body that moves around the orbit which is a mathematical predictable path. It is helpful in telecommunication, radio, television and weather forecasting.

How does a satellite get power?

Sun is the main power source of satellite, the solar panel mounted on satellite helps in getting power from sunlight. Each array consists of thousands of small solar cell which is made up of silicon.

How does communication satellite works?

Communication satellite just bounce signal from one side of Earth to other. A beam of signal is transmitted to satellite with the help of transmitter dish and the Satellite send it to receiving dish. In this way the communication satellite works.

How many Satellites in space?

Since, about 8,100 satellites were sent by more than 40 countries. According to 2018 estimate some 4,900 remains in orbit and about 1,900 were operational.

Which is the first satellite?       

The first successful satellite was sent by Soviet Union on October 4, 1957 and it is named as Sputnik 1. The satellite was in the size of beach ball and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path.

What happens to old satellite in space?

 The Engineers will use last bit of fuel to slow down the satellite. Satellite will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. It can take lot of fuel for a satellite to slow down enough to fall back into the atmosphere.

Creating Artificial Planet

Already our Earth is loosing the habitable tendency due to the deforestation, Climate changes, etc. These all causes our Earth as inhabitable planet, for life better we should move into another planet to move into another planet we could create our own planet. But, it is possible to build a planet as like Earth with Atmosphere, Air, Water, Moderate Temperature, Gravity, etc. Theoretically, it is said we could build a planet like Earth. We could build our own planet right in our solar system for constant temperature as we get in our planet “Earth”. We could probably use asteroids in our solar system to build our artificial planet, but we are having only lower amount of asteroids in our solar system so we cannot build a planet as we expected so we are going to use OORT CLOUD to build our Artificial Planet but problem with this OORT CLOUD is it is so far from our Earth, we haven’t still invented that fast vehicle to bring that materials here, so this case could not help us. We have ...

What is OSIRIS-REX?            OSIRIS-REX is a man-made artificial satellite which was launched on 8 th September 2016 from Cape Canaveral Air force station. OSIRIS-REX is launched to take samples from the ancient asteroid Bennu and it is estimated to return Earth on 2023. What is Bennu Asteroid?             Bennu was discovered on 11 th September 1999 by Lincoln-Near Earth Asteroid research . The Bennu asteroid is 492 meter wide and it has a mass of 78 billion kilogram. Scientist estimated Bennu could pass closer to Earth than moon in 2135, which close distance of 250,000 miles. What is OSIRIS-REX Work?              The OSIRIS-REX is send to take samples from the Asteroid Bennu to help scientist understand how heat radiated from sun is gently steering Bennu on increasing menacing course through solar system. The OS...
