Landsat orbits in a sun-synchronous polar orbit, declined at 99 degrees (so 9 degrees from 90). It makes about 14 passes over the Earth every day given its orbital parameters but does not pass over the same spot more than once in 16 days.
So essentially, it passes over the Earth roughly north-south many times a day, just about going over the poles and back up again.
What else can I help you with?
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
What is propogation delay in satellite?
A propagation delay is the amount of time it takes radio waves to travel from the surface of the Earth to the satellite and then back down to the Earth. The calculation of the delay is based upon the altitude and position of the satellite systems.
How long does it take for a satellite to orbit round earth?
I believe that is around 90 minutes or about an hour and a half. I'm pretty sure of that.
What is a satellite meter?
A satellite- meter takes radar images of faults.
What is a geostationary satellite State two uses of a geostationary satellite?
In order for a satellite to stay in space and not fall to earth, it has to move in orbit round the earth. Many satellites and the International Space Station are in low orbit and at that distance above the earth orbit the earth in a couple of hours or so. However, if the orbit is around 26000 miles up, then at that distance the time it takes for a satellite to freely orbit is exactly one day or 24 hours. This means that the satellite is always above the same spot on earth, as the earth also takes 24 hours to rotate. Thus, if we could see the satellite in the sky it would not move across the sky like the International Space Station but it would stay in the same place in the sky. This means that they can be used for communication - when you telephone, say, from Europe to the USA then the signals are received by these satellites, amplified and relayed across the world to the receiver of the call. As the satellites are in the same place in the sky all the time, you can call at any time of the night or day. However, if the satellite moved across the sky in low orbit you would only be able to use it when it was in the sky - in other words you could only telephone for a few minutes at a time and then have to wait until it was back in the sky again. Similarly, these satellites are used for navigation in sat-navs. As the satellite is always in the same point in the sky, it can work out your position at any time of the night or day. The term 'geostationary' comes from 'geo' meaning 'earth' (as in geo-graphy, geo-thermal etc) and 'stationary' - meaning not moving i.e. the satellite is 'not moving above earth'.
How long does it take for a. Landsat satellite to scan the entire earth?
A Landsat satellite takes around 16 days to scan the entire Earth's surface. This is due to its polar orbit and repeat cycle for complete coverage of the globe.
How long does it take for a satellite to circle around the earth?
The time it takes for a satellite to complete one full orbit around the Earth, known as its orbital period, can vary depending on the altitude of the satellite. On average, a satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) typically takes about 90 minutes to complete one orbit, while a geostationary satellite orbits the Earth every 24 hours.
How long does it take for a Landsat satellite to scan earth?
A Landsat satellite takes about 16 days to complete a full scan of the Earth, capturing images of the same location every 16 days due to its polar orbit and the way it scans the planet. During each pass, it collects data from a swath approximately 185 kilometers wide. This systematic approach allows for consistent monitoring of land use and environmental changes over time.
What satellite orbits around the earth and takes the same time it takes for the earth to rotate on its axis?
Only artificial, geostationary satellites.
Is the work is done when satellite orbits around the earth?
No because it stays in orbit and takes pictures of the ever changing earth.
What planet takes 28 days to go round the earth?
No planet goes around the Earth. The Moon, Earth's satellite orbits around the Earth, once ever 27 days and 7 hours.
What does a satellite do when it orbite around earth?
A satellite in orbit around Earth acts as a communications relay, collects data for research, monitors weather patterns, and provides navigation services.
The period of a satellite is defined as..?
The period of a satellite is the time it takes for the satellite to complete one orbit around its parent body, such as a planet or a star. It is typically measured in hours, days, or years depending on the size and speed of the satellite's orbit. The period is determined by the satellite's orbital velocity and the mass of the parent body it is orbiting.
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
What is the natural satellite that takes one month to orbit the earth?
Our moon takes a month to orbit the Earth.
How much time does a geostationary satellite take to complete one revolution around the earth?
A geostationary satellite takes approximately 24 hours to complete one revolution around the Earth. This period matches the Earth's rotation period, allowing the satellite to remain fixed over a specific point on the equator. As a result, it appears stationary relative to the surface of the Earth.
What is An Is the path a human made satellite or celestial body takes around another body such as earth around the sun?
An orbit is the path that a human-made satellite or a celestial body takes around another body, such as Earth around the Sun. It is governed by gravitational forces, with the satellite or celestial body moving in a curved trajectory due to the attraction of the larger body. Orbits can be circular or elliptical in shape, depending on the relative speeds and distances of the objects involved.
