SATELLITES
What is a satellite?
A satellite is basically any object that revolves around the planet in a circular orbit or elliptical path purposely to perform a specific mission,
Applications of satellites
Its applications is found in all the fields Weather satellites tiros,cosmos,goes. Communications satellites Insat launched by India Broadcast satellites Scientific satellites Hubble telescope Navigation satellites GPS NAVSTAR Rescue satellites Earth observation satellites landsat satellites Military satellites
Pioneers satellites(1957)
The Soviet Sputnik satellite was the first to orbit Earth, launched on October 4, 1957.
Sputnik is a good example of just how simple a satellite can be. As we will see later, today's satellites are generally far more complicated, but the basic idea is a straightforward one. After 92 days, gravity took over and Sputnik burned in Earth's atmosphere. Thirty days after the Sputnik launch, the dog Laika orbited in a half-ton Sputnik satellite with an air supply for the dog. It burned in the atmosphere in April 1958.
ISRO's latest satellite, INSAT-4B, was successfully launched on (March 12, 2007) by the European Ariane5 ECA launch vehicle of Arianespace. The 3,025 kg INSAT-4B is the second satellite in the INSAT-4 series. An identical satellite, INSAT-4A, was launched by Ariane-5 on December 22, 2005. INSAT-4B will further augment the INSAT capacity for Direct-To-Home (DTH) television services and other communication and TV services.

India's Technology Experiment Satellite (TES) was launched on October 22, 2001, aboard a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C3) from Sriharikota to a 350-mL-high orbit.
The 2,440-lb. satellite tested new payload technologies, ranging from communications to remote sensing. It carried a panchromatic camera for Earth-imaging.
Each of these 3,000- to 4,000-pound solar-powered satellites circles the globe at about 12,000 miles (19,300 km), making two complete rotations every day. The orbits are arranged so that at any time, anywhere on Earth, there are at least four satellites "visible" in the sky.
