 What is a Satellite?
ï According to Wikipedia, ͞In the context of
spaceflight, a Satellite is an object which has been
placed into orbit by human endeavor. Such
objects are referred as artificial satellites to
distinguish them from natural satellites.
ï Technically, Satellites are usually semi-
independent computer controlled systems.
Satellite sub systems attend many tasks, such as
power generation, thermal control, telemetry,
attitude control and telemetry.

ï If you threw a baseball from the
mountain top, it would fall to the
ground in a curving path. Two
motions act on it: trying to go in a
straight line and falling toward
Earth. The faster you throw the
ball, the farther it will go before it
hits the ground.
ï If you could throw the ball at a
speed of 17,000 mph, it would
never reach the ground. It would
circle the Earth in a curved path,
otherwise known as orbit. (It would
be traveling at 5 miles per second
and take about ten minutes to
cross the United States.) This is the
speed needed to put satellites into
orbit, which is why the Space
Shuttle and other satellites have
such powerful boosters.
ï To place a satellite into a stable
orbit, 2 parameters need to be
perfectly coupled together-
1. Velocity Vector
2. Orbital Height

is the first moment of flight of a plane,
a rocket or other space launch vehicle, when it
leaves the ground.
 -  





ï After 21 seconds of launch ͞Roll͟ of satellite
takes place.
ï After 2 Mins and 7 seconds, the 1st stage
separation takes place in which the lower part
gets separated from the satellite.
ï The Figure in next slide shows the 1st stage
separation of Apollo 11 Saturn 5.
