orbital launch was of the Soviet unmanned Sputnik ("Satellite I") mission on October 4‚ 1957. The satellite weighed about 83 kg (184 pounds)‚ and is believed to have orbited Earth at a height of about 250 km (150 miles). Analysis of the radio signals was used to gather information about the electron density of the ionosphere‚ while temperature and pressure data was encoded in the duration of radio beeps. The results indicated that the satellite was not punctured by a meteoroid. Sputnik 1 was launched

technology has long revolutionized the technological status of the world. The first of the long list of space-inspired technology would be the ICBM’s contrived from the USSR’s launching of Sputnik. America suddenly realized that if the Soviets can put a satellite in orbit‚ then they can engineer a warhead into a missile that can be launched from Russia and reach Los Angeles. Sputnik opened the possibilities of space and space technology. No longer would space be the unreachable frontier of sci-fi Dyson Spheres

While it has been a costly endeavor‚ space exploration has produced substantial rewards. Many of the radical technological advancements that we take for granted today were the by-product of the race to explore space. Cellular phones and satellite television are just two of these notable achievements. Search for Other Life Forms Space exploration offers the opportunity to potentially discover other life forms. Reasons for the importance of this are not confined to the mere satisfaction of people’s

that are satellites overhead. 2) To enable that‚ the US department of defence has setup 24 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. They are called the GPS satellite constellation. The geostationary satellites (such as what are used for star TV‚ DD etc) will be too far to send a strong signal to your receiver‚ and also when you are lost in the wilderness‚ you will not know where to point the geostationary antenna. So there is a need for low earth orbit satellites. The problem with LEO satellites is that

Many would remember that the same – and similar – questions were asked of ISRO’s focus on remote sensing satellites in the past two decades… The question – and the “answer” – was eloquently articulated in this article in the New Scientist: But why is India‚ a country that still has so many development problems on the ground‚

(1970-1980) In the 1960s‚ Sarabhai had taken part in an early study with NASA regarding the feasibility of using satellites for applications as wide as direct television broadcasting‚ and this study had found that it was the most economical way of transmitting such broadcasts. Having recognized the benefits that satellites could bring to India from the very start‚ Sarabhai and the ISRO set about designing and creating an independent launch vehicle‚ capable of launching
