Types Of Satellites And Their Uses Ppt

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.

Types of satellites and their uses ppt.

Below are the names of nine different types of satellites. A satellite with a low inclination can use the earth s rotation to help boost it into orbit. Micro satellite below 100 kg 3 nanosatellite below 10 kg. A passive satellite can be further subdivided into two types namely natural satellites and artificial satellites.

Reconaissance or spy satellites e g. A type of satellite that gives ships and aircraft their coordinate positions on the earth. Satellites in high earth orbit require the most energy to reach their destination. A moon is a natural satellite of earth.

The satellite must be designed specifically to fulfill its role. Navigation satellites are also widely used by the military. 43 navigational satellites. Types of satellites based on its application are.

1 minisatellite 500100 kg 2. Miniaturized satellites are of 3 types. Navigation satellites were developed in the 1950s and they rely on the doppler effect to calculate the position of vessels emitting a radio signal. We can categorize satellites in two types namely passive satellites and active satellites.

Satellites can be classified based on their applications orbit in which they are placed. Satellites in a highly inclined orbit such as a polar orbit take more energy than a satellite that circles the earth over the equator. Orbits are categorized by its altitude inclination with reference to the equatorial plane eccentricity synchronization parameters planet centered pseudo orbit and others. 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.
