Asked by Wiki User

There is an orbit called a geosynchronous orbit (GEO), which is a satellite that travels around the Earth in the Earth's exact speed, so it's always in the same position as the Earth. GEOs are used for communication nowadays, and so ground stations are always in contact with the satellites. That means that your T.V. programs and phone calls are never interrupted! :D

How long does a rocket travel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally unguided rockets used as weapons do not travel as far as missiles, which is the term for guided weapons. Rockets used as fireworks only travel a few hundred feet vertically. Model rockets may reach a height of a mile or more. Rockets used to launch satellites propel the payload above the atmosphere, which expends most of their fuel.
