Sputink 1

100

what are Satellites used for?๐Ÿฅบ


A: For science exploration

What is the cost of a satellite?๐Ÿ‘พ

Many satellites can cost from $1 million to over $300 million .

100

Why do Satellites use Solar Power?๐Ÿ˜œ

Because itโ€™s a more efficient way of energy for satellites because the Sunโ€™s light is constantly shining most of the time onto Earthโ€™s orbit and satellites in space, so itโ€™s a more convenient option for fueling the satellites rather than using fossil based fuels.

what country made the first sattlite? ๐Ÿคฉ

The Soviet Union


200

What is the heliopause ?๐Ÿ’

The Sunโ€™s magnetic field.

200

What is the biggest satellite still in space?๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ

Ganymede, or Jupiter III

200

Around how many times do satellites orbit the earth in a day? (Low Earth orbit)๐Ÿช

around 15-16 times


200

Why do most satellites not need fuel?๐Ÿ˜ฌ





Satellites usually don't need fuel to maintain their orbit because once they reach a specific velocity and altitude, the Earth's or another planetโ€™s gravity keeps the satellite floating around , like a ball going on a circular track, at least until they get damaged, too old , or not getting enough energy, which then they fall out of orbit and โ€œdieโ€.

What was Sputnik 3 originally supposed to be?๐Ÿ†

It was supposed to be the first satellite model, but due to its complexity and time-taking process, they decided to create Sputnik 1, which was a much simpler  design.

500

What is the RTG method?๐ŸŒƒ

It is a form of energy used for satellites , which involves using radioactive decay or other space debris , which is then converted into energy for the satellite.
