Thousand and millions of messages are sent to the satellites every single day. Even when you are ordering a pizza or chatting with your friend through Snapchat, all data are being processed, packaged, and communicating through the satellites. However, did you know where the satellites are or where are they located and operated? This article and video below will be briefly introduced the different types of satellite orbits - Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Orbit (GEO). Dive in to discover the fascinating world of satellite technology and how it keeps us connected. https://lnkd.in/dg_yFMip Thanks to Global Invacom Group that makes a really nice video in explaining the basic of different satellite operated orbit, check out their video on YouTube as well. #SETU #SETUEngineering #Aerospace #Aeronautical #GPS #GNSS #Glonass #Beidou #Galileo #LEO #MEO #GEO #Lowearthorbit #mediumearthorbit #geostationaryorbit #space #spacescience #spacetechnology

How many satellites are in space? 🛰 It look like the current count is over 9300! This is based off the "Orbiting Now" website (and some checks with others) and what is interesting is how much this has increased compared to some recent reports and articles published across 2023. 88% are Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, with SpaceX owning more than half of them. Next is Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) satellites at 552 and Medium Earth Orbit Satellites (MEO) at 209. The largest category of use for the satellites is #communications, followed by "Earth Observation". #satellitecommunications #leo #connectivity

💡Ever wondered how many satellites are currently orbiting Earth? 🪐You will be surprised to know that there are 8000 satellites orbiting our blue planet. These satellites like the well-known SPUTNIK-1, ARYABHATA and a few others serve as our guides and link us to SKYNET and GPS. By balancing the force of gravity and forward momentum, these satellites rotate in an elliptical or circular orbit around the planet. 📚Learn more about these technological marvels shaping the future of space exploration. 🎬Click on the video for the full story. 🎯Stay curious and be innovative! 📜To read more innovative stories follow YuviPeP. #yuvipep #innovation #satellites #orbitingEarth #SPUTNIK1 #ARYABHATA #SKYNET #GPS #spaceexploration #technologicalmarvels #gravity #forwardmomentum

#DYK? GEO satellites, or geostationary satellites, orbit the Earth at an altitude of approximately 22,236 miles above the equator. This orbit allows them to match the Earth's rotation, making them appear stationary relative to a specific point on the Earth's surface. But through COMSPOC tracking, we know GEO satellites aren't truly "stationary." They frequently perform maneuvers to maintain their position in space due to environmental disruptions. These adjustments help ensure consistent communication and navigation services. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e9-nEPbi #Space #SpaceTechnology #Satellite

space debris, remnants of defunct satellites and rocket stages, pose a growing threat in Earth's orbit. As humanity launches more objects into space, collisions and breakups generates additional debris, potential triggering the Kessler syndrome. International cooperation and innovative technologies are crucial to mitigating this escalating hazard and ensuring sustainable space exploration. The fifth planet to have rings would be earth but here it isn't the asteroid and meteors. It will be "Debris". #spaceexploration #spacedebris

Did you know? 🤔 Satellites 🛰 destined for Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), ranging from 200 to 2,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface, can reach space within a few short minutes after launch. Once in orbit, Satellites in LEO typically take 1.5-2 hours to complete one full orbit around the Earth... That's fast (~17,000 mph)! 😅 Satellites intended for geostationary orbit (GEO), around 35,786 kilometers above the equator 🌎, require a few days or even weeks to reach their final destination. Engine burns and related maneuvers are often conducted to gradually raise the object in its journey over time. MSI - DFAT SERVICES, LLC can make sure your #LEO #GEO and #MEO #satellites withstand the rigors of launch to make it safely to space! . . . #RocketLaunch #Vandenberg #CapeCanaveral #Satellite #SatelliteTesting #AcousticTesting #Space #SpaceIndustry #DFAT #DFAN #StructuralDynamics #Orbit #Payload #TestEngineering

Here's a Molniya orbit visualized on Satcat.com! A Molniya orbit is a highly eccentric orbit that enables satellites to spend most of their time over high latitude areas, such as Canada and Russia. Unlike Geostationary (GEO) orbits, which stay fixed above a single longitude near the equator, Molniya orbits are ideal for providing better coverage to these high-latitude regions. In this video, we are showcasing both the well-recognized elliptical shape of the Molniya orbit in an inertial frame and the satellite's track as seen from an Earth-fixed observer's perspective.

Half of the solution is finding a good visualization for your data.
A Gabbard diagram, named after its inventor John Gabbard, is a visualization tool used for space debris analysis. It explores the orbital characteristics of fragments resulting from a satellite or spacecraft breakup. The image below is a Gabbard diagram of the infamous Fengyun 1C (China National Space Administration) debris. In a Gabbard diagram, The X-axis represents the orbital period of each debris fragment. Shorter periods mean faster revolution around the Earth. The Y-axis represents the Periapsis (closest point to Earth) and Apoapsis (farthest point from Earth) of each fragment plotted as two separate values (colors) for each fragment. The Gabbard diagram is a useful tool to visualize orbital decay over time. The debris cloud formed by the #ASAT test destroying their ageing weather satellite Fengyun-1C, carried out by #China in 2007, created nearly 4000 debris, of which 2500+ tracked debris are still in orbit. By studying these patterns, we learn where the breakup happened, how spread out the debris pieces are in various orbits, and how they might move over time. That helps us calculate collision risks and predict the future behaviour of the debris cloud, ultimately protecting other satellites and keeping our orbital environment safe.
