What is a Satellite?

Generally, the satellites are described as the moon, planet of any other machine which can be seen circulating a planet or star. Earth and the moon are considered to the natural satellites There are many manmade and artificial satellites as per the astronomy creations. Such satellites enable the complete research and working of the space research team.

Normally, satellites can be said as a word referring to the machine that is produced and launched into space. Such a satellite will be seen revolving or orbiting a planet or star. As of today, thousands of artificial satellites revolve around orbit space. If you are wondering why such satellites are launched, then the answer is it has several uses. Satellites normally give the research area a better scope. It takes photographs and enables locating the GPS. They also help in recording the pictures of other planets, black holes, dark matter or distant galaxies

TV signals, GPS and phone calls around the world are receiving their significance with the active help of the satellites launched to the special realm. A collection of more than 20 satellites makes up the Global Positioning System. Such satellites can help you understand your exact location. Check here for the list of all the ISRO satellites.

Why Are Satellites Important?

The satellites are the backbone of the space research. Satellites allows the visible observation of the solar system. It can also stand as an eye view upon the universe and subsequent changes happening in the space. Thus, it can act as an information system, security system and research system. They have the ability to collect more data and transfer the data. Satellites fly above the clouds, and other molecules in the atmosphere. The active participation of satellite can be witnessed in all kinds of radiational signals and especially, the TV signals and GPS.
