Types of satellites and their uses ppt.
43 navigational satellites.
Navigation satellites were developed in the 1950s and they rely on the doppler effect to calculate the position of vessels emitting a radio signal.
Below are the names of nine different types of satellites.
1 minisatellite 500100 kg 2.
Satellites in high earth orbit require the most energy to reach their destination.
Orbits are categorized by its altitude inclination with reference to the equatorial plane eccentricity synchronization parameters planet centered pseudo orbit and others.
Micro satellite below 100 kg 3 nanosatellite below 10 kg.
A moon is a natural satellite of earth.
Satellites can be classified based on their applications orbit in which they are placed.
The type of satellite that is launched to monitor cloud patterns for a weather station will be different than a satellite launched to send television signals across canada.
This means there are more available routes for satellites in leo which is one of the reasons why leo is a very commonly used orbit.
There are also nine pictures of satellites.
Unlike satellites in geo that must always orbit along earth s equator leo satellites do not always have to follow a particular path around earth in the same way their plane can be tilted.
Satellites in a highly inclined orbit such as a polar orbit take more energy than a satellite that circles the earth over the equator.
A passive satellite can be further subdivided into two types namely natural satellites and artificial satellites.
A satellite with a low inclination can use the earth s rotation to help boost it into orbit.
We can categorize satellites in two types namely passive satellites and active satellites.
A type of satellite that gives ships and aircraft their coordinate positions on the earth.
Navigation satellites are also widely used by the military.
Navigational satellites are satellites which use radio time signals transmitted to enable mobile receivers on the ground to determine their exact location.
