Satellites equipped with search and rescue equipment fly over a beacon that is releasing an
emergency signal. Using mathematical calculations involving the doppler effect, scientists can
translate that signal into coordinates, and determine the location of the distress signal within four
kilometers.
The newest search and rescue system is the:
Cospas-Sarsat System by Soviet Union
Space exploration satellite are not really satellites at all; they are properly known as:
Space probes
Space exploration satellites are responsible for many of:
Astronomys most important achievements (e.g. Jupiters rings)
SE sat. must be built to last
Because it takes so long for the satellites to reach their destinations
SE vs Astronomy satellites
SE, because they do not operate from Earth orbit
Are actually sent out into deep space on their own(e.g. NASAs Galileo)
Whom who relies on weather satellites for many things, such as images from satellites
Meteorologist
Two basic types of weather satellites
Geostationary orbit
Polar orbit
16. Orbit the earth in the same amount of time it takes earth to revolve once, also measure in real time
Geostationary satellite
17. Type of satellite orbits in a path that closely follows the earths meridians lines
Polar orbiting
18. Provide detailed information about violent storms and cloud systems
Polar satellites
19. Communication satellite
Provides essentially a very high capacity
Receive a signal from a transmitting station (vise versa) also
as relay points between other satellites or manned spacecraft (microwave relay)
receives microwave signals----given frequency band & retransmit them at a different freq.
Communication satellites have been perceived as:
