What Can We Do With Satellites

From monitoring forest fires and maritime traffic to facilitating agriculture and telecommunications here are ten cool things we can do.

What can we do with satellites.

The power is supplied to satellites with the help of solar energy. To control the satellites in space the first and foremost important thing is to supply power to it. Satellites such as the uk s techdemosat 1 tds 1 which launched in 2014 are designed for end of life disposal. Tds 1 carries a small drag sail designed and built at cranfield university that can.

Or you can test new data compression methods or alternative methods of doing on board operations. So this way power supply works. It consists of so many solar panels which convert the light energy photons into electrical energy. For example comparing a custom electronics rig against a commercial off the shelf cots component to see if satellites of any size can be made more cost effective.

For the closer satellites engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Another engineering motive can be to test specific components. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from earth. Satellites provide in flight phone communications on airplanes and are often the main conduit of voice communication for rural areas and areas where phone lines are damaged after a disaster.

Tds 1 carries a small drag sail designed and built at cranfield university that can. Satellites such as the uk s techdemosat 1 tds 1 which launched in 2014 are designed for end of life disposal. Two things can happen to old satellites. During the northern summer when the nights are the shortest the time that a satellite in a low earth orbit like the iss can remain illuminated by the sun can extend throughout the night a.

Like every other machine satellites do not last. Satellites like the hubble space telescope the international space station and the russian mir space station help scientists explore space in new and exciting ways. Artificial satellites are used for all sorts of purposes.
