1. Satellites How do they work? NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Satellite

2. Uses DirectTV, DBS News Telephones Cable GPS Emergency radio beacons

3. Components ANY object that revolves around a planet (e.g. the moon) Artificial Orbit, Apogee, and Perigee Custom built “Space junk”

4. Sputnik 1 (October 4, 1957) Soviet Union A Thermometer A Battery A Radio transmitter Pressurized Nitrogen gas

5. 3, 2, 1, Lift-off (Launch) Rockets and the space shuttle Orbital Velocity and Altitude Launch Window

6. Types Weather satellites (TIROS, COSMOS) Communications satellites (Telstar, Intelsat) transponder Broadcast satellites Scientific satellites (Hubble telescope) Navigational satellites (GPS Navstar) Rescue satellites Earth observation satellites (LANDST) Military satellites (???)

7. Components Frame/Body (Bus) Power source Computer Communications Attitude control system (ACS)

8. Geostationary Orbits Positioned over the same area Normally, 22,223 Miles Weather Communication Communications Satellite

9. Asynchronous Orbits Multiple passes 80-1,200 miles Teledesic, LEOs Observation (300- 600 miles) 3,000-6,000 miles Scientific 6,000-12,000 miles Navigation (GPS)

10. Polar Orbit Low altitude Passes over the poles on each orbit Mapping and photography

11. Teledesic: Low Earth Orbit Satellites (LEOs) Network of Constellations “Internet-in- the-Sky TM”
