What does it mean that GPS has a lock?
When GPS has a lock, it means that the GPS device has successfully connected to enough satellites to accurately determine its location. This allows for accurate positioning and navigation information to be provided.
Do solar flares destroy satellites?
Yes it does, if powerful enough. Wiki Telstar 401.
What is an important information-gathering satellite now in orbit around earth called?
One important information-gathering satellite currently in orbit around Earth is the Landsat program, operated by NASA and the US Geological Survey. Landsat satellites provide a valuable source of data for monitoring changes in the Earth's surface over time, including agriculture, urban development, and environmental changes. The data collected by Landsat satellites support a wide range of applications, from resource management to disaster response.
What type of orbit are GPS satellites in?
GPS satellites are in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) at an altitude of approximately 20,000 kilometers. This allows them to provide global coverage while being close enough to maintain accurate signal transmission to receivers on the ground.
Does Saturn have robots or satellites?
yes.kiri lutes Saturn has had three robot probes fly by in the past: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2. The Cassini-Huygens probe is currently in orbit around Saturn. The planet also has 62 known natural satellites big enough to be considered moons and many other objects orbiting it, including the materials that make up its famous rings.

Why use microwave for satellites?
The microwave has high enough frequency to carry the information and long enough wavelengths to penetrate the atmosphere. They are also easy to produce and easy to detect.
What are satellites of planets?
Natural satellites of planets are called moons, if they are large enough.
Is there gravity where satellites are at?
Yes there are enough gravitational forces to keep the satellites orbiting earth.
How did life differ in New England?
Compared to what/where and when? Your question does not have enough information to be answered. Please re-ask and be clearer.
Can five satellites cover the whole surface of the earth?
Actually only 3 geostationary satellites are enough to cover the earth.
Why don't satellites fly into space?
Satellites, by definition, are in orbit. Which means that they're circling their host (planet). IF you were to increase their speed enough, they would. (And if you slowed it enough, then they would fall to the ground.)
What moves around a planet?
A Satellite. There are man made satellites (equipment or stations put into orbit by a rocket) and natural satellites, which are called moons if large enough.
Do solar flares destroy satellites?
Yes it does, if powerful enough. Wiki Telstar 401.
Why are satellites high up above the earth?
Because satellites can't stay in orbit if they're moving through air, so they have to be high enough where there's no air.
How many satellites are in mercury?
It has none because it is to close too the sun so it does not have enough atmosphere
How does man made satellites maintain their orbit?
The satellites are usually placed so in an orbit high enough so that they don't lose much movement energy due to atmospheric friction.
