Types Of Satellites And Their Uses Ppt

Satellites can be classified based on their applications orbit in which they are placed.

Types of satellites and their uses ppt.

Satellites in high earth orbit require the most energy to reach their destination. A satellite with a low inclination can use the earth s rotation to help boost it into orbit. Unlike satellites in geo that must always orbit along earth s equator leo satellites do not always have to follow a particular path around earth in the same way their plane can be tilted. Miniaturized satellites are of 3 types.

There are also nine pictures of satellites. Types of satellites based on its application are. Navigation satellites were developed in the 1950s and they rely on the doppler effect to calculate the position of vessels emitting a radio signal. The satellite must be designed specifically to fulfill its role.

Orbits are categorized by its altitude inclination with reference to the equatorial plane eccentricity synchronization parameters planet centered pseudo orbit and others. 1 minisatellite 500100 kg 2. Below are the names of nine different types of satellites. Navigational satellites are satellites which use radio time signals transmitted to enable mobile receivers on the ground to determine their exact location.

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. 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. Micro satellite below 100 kg 3 nanosatellite below 10 kg. 43 navigational satellites.

We can categorize satellites in two types namely passive satellites and active satellites. Satellites in a highly inclined orbit such as a polar orbit take more energy than a satellite that circles the earth over the equator. Reconaissance or spy satellites e g. A moon is a natural satellite of earth.
