Types of satellites based on its application are.

Types of satellites ppt.

Thousands of unused satellites and satellite fragments orbit the earth as space debris. Tether satellites are mainly used for altitude control stabilization propulsion maintaining relative positions of a larger spacecraft sensor system and momentum exchange. A few space probes have been placed into orbit around other bodies and become artificial satellites to the moon venus mars jupiter and saturn. Orbits are categorized by its altitude inclination with reference to the equatorial plane eccentricity synchronization parameters planet centered pseudo orbit and others.

They complete exactly one rotation per day. Types of satellite natural. Low earth orbit low earth orbit leo a low earth orbit leo is as the name suggests an orbit that is relatively close to earth s surface. Satellites can be classified based on their applications orbit in which they are placed.

Satellites overview history launching of satellites how satellites work orbit distance types. 8 uses of satellites. Satellites are used for a large number of purposes. Satellites in high earth orbit require the most energy to reach their destination.

Satellites weigh around 2 500 kgs. The international space station orbiting the earth a. It is normally at an altitude of less than 1000 km but could be as low as 160 km above earth which is low compared to other orbits but still very far above earth s surface. Low earth orbit leos medium earth orbit meos global positioning system gps geostationary geos applications 3.

There are 4 types of orbits they are. Geosynchronous orbits geo geo satellites orbit earth at an altitude greater than 22 223 miles 36 000 kilometers and their orbital period is the same as earth s rotational period. Satellites in a highly inclined orbit such as a polar orbit take more energy than a satellite that circles the earth over the equator. Satellites moving close to the earth s surface are ideal for making observations for military purposes and for collecting weather data.

A satellite with a low inclination can use the earth s rotation to help boost it into orbit. Heo highly elliptical orbit geo stationary earth orbit. Such as the moon orbiting around the earth artificial. Geo geo stationary earth orbit 2.

There are different types of tether satellites including skyhooks format flying tethers momentum exchange tethers and electrodynamic tethers. Three synchronous satellite are placed in such a way to provide 100 earth coverage. Meo medium earth orbit 3. Leo low earth orbit and.

Types of satellite orbits. These satellites have almost a distance of 36 000 km to the earth.
