space satellites

Space satellites are man-made objects placed into orbit around the Earth or other celestial bodies. They serve various purposes, such as enabling global communication, weather forecasting, navigation with GPS, scientific research, and Earth observation. Satellites are typically equipped with sensors, cameras, or communication devices and orbit at different altitudes depending on their mission. They provide essential data and services we rely on daily, operating silently above us in space, with some staying in fixed positions relative to the Earth (geostationary) and others moving in different orbits for specific tasks.
